After two days of roughing it, I was ready for some chillaxing on a comfortable bed.  Alamagordo isn’t exactly the hotbed of luxury though.  Despite that, after driving around looking at the Motel 6s and America’s Best Value Inn’s, I just really wanted to stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Mariott because it looked like the nicest hotel in town.  Also meaning it was the most expensive.

Well Pokin had the idea of trying to make a priceline bid for some halfway decent hotel and we lucked out!  We got the Fairfield Inn & Suites for less than half of the listed price!

I claimed my bed right away.

And relaxed in the lounge.

I mean, a bear needs to recharge between adventures!
