Helpful travel hints:

[cyrano]

For those travellers who have lived a dozen years in California, New Mexico has very few earthquakes. If you wake up and the bed is shaking, it may simply be the room's climate control shuddering to life. Odds are good that you do not need to leap out of bed and usher your travelling companion to safety in the parking lot.

Even in California, the number of earthquakes that woke me up in the middle of the night was an order of magnitude smaller than the number of times my roommate's bed-rocking sex life woke me up in the middle of the night.

My roommate was unlikely to wake me in that fashion. But I think that in twelve years in CA I was woken by an earthquake once.

It's one of those things that distance makes much more amusing. But Amanda was not dressed for a parking lot.

And you were?

I am with the above commenter - I am giggling.

Active fault lines, (maybe slow moving ones,) in New Mexico would not surprise me. But as I remember from our last trip there, (many years ago,) mostly they have to deal with heat.

Safe Travels!

Oh dear. Nothing harmed but your dignity, I take it?
