Mustang

I made reservations for August. I figured the majority of people will be vaccinated by then. And there's enough outdoor spaces to enjoy drinks and oysters. I did make sure all the reservations are csncelable just in case.

I went to the Hammam last time I was in PV and got a really hot guy, but no enjoyment just they longest bath ever and 2 oreos. I'll try Coral Spa on my next trip.

Which massage parlors? I've never had any luck in PV. I also heard they expect another shut down soon for about 2 weeks. Was planning to go last week of March.

Has a massage at Spartacus and was probably one of the most boring massages I ever had. 0 stars.

Also one note on the numbers: Previously they were only testing in hospitals when people came in I'll, so it was NOT close to an accurate representation of community positivity. Now they have expanded testing and the numbers are rising. Some have suggested the real positivity rate is closer to 60%. P. S. The new variant was also detected in PV in the last week.

No. Restrictions were extended another 2 weeks to Feb 12th. They also have discovered the new variant there, so I expect things will go from bad to worse.

Welp, now I have a new 2021 goal!

Still G rated?

Agree. Unless manufacturering of the vaccine increase volume substantially I can't see it before mid to late summer. Also if the new variant in NY state takes off the border will remsin closed longer as cases will skyrocket.

False equivalentcy and poor logic.

Living should not be about putting other people's health at risk for your own amusement. It's not longer personal choice, it's personal responsibility.

Wow! These certainly send up several red flags. South California has some of the highest incidence rates of human trafficking in the US (per U.S. National Human Trafficking hotline). To blow it off as not being a high fashion photo shoot is... alarming. Second, Palm Spring governor has publicly called the end of exploitation of these minorities in a pandemic (Per her Press Release). AT BEST this is a spa that is trying to get around the mandatory closures by out-calling these poor guys - at worst this is actual human trafficking. Third, California hospitals are over 100% capacity - it's not longer about taking precautions during these activities - it's taking personal responsibility by amending your behavior. This is a pandemic, with real people dying. We can’t solve a pandemic on the backs of a few, while others disregard their personal responsibility by calling it personal choice. Overall, I wouldn't touch these guys with @big dale 's pol... ER a 10-foot pole.

I like tats on guys. I especially like trashy tattoos on trashy guys. I think my problem is it just doesn't work on him. It comes off more inauthentic poser than street cred.

He's 22. 22 year olds do dumb stuff.

We were all naive once. Fortunately, I had good people in my life who showed me the ropes than being critical.

Ahh.. I remember The Happy Tap. Happy memories! I use to go there when 19 so I could drink. There were some scammers in there (and the Gold Coast). One of my first bars I had to figure out how to tip strippers with coins.

Man, this is an awful haiku. Total lost track of the syllable count there! ?

Haven't we suffered enough in 2020?!?

I'm planning on hitting Palm Springs once I'm vaccinated and before it gets too hot. Haven't had a massage since February!

I'm looking at Carnival in Rio this year. It's been moved from Feb to July 2021. I plan/hope to be fully vaccinated by then. I've avoided COVID this long, I can wait a bit longer. I've just started looking at the vaccine data in Brazil (I work in research) and I'm not fully up to speed on the AstraZeneca vaccine they'll be seeking approval for in about 2 weeks. BUT it appears to only be 50-60% effective after 2 doses. They also appear to be seeking full approval rather than Emergency Use authorization (not sure why other than saying the process is onerous in Brazil). Even so they expect to have 100 million doses by mid-2021, so roughly enough for a quarter of the population to receive 2 doses. High level take away - I'd wait a few months to see how things shake out. I'm anxious as anyone, but also realize the way to beat this virus is to break the chain(s) of transmission either via vaccine or reduced movement through the population (i.e. stay home).

They've moved Carnival from Feb to July 2021. I'm assuming/hoping/prayin to Jeezus that I'm fully vaccinated by then. I've been super careful all pandemic and haven't hooked up at all so I'm feeling Rio may be a good place to do years worth of catching up. I'd enjoying hearing stories and recommendations (hotels, places to eat, things to do, boys to do, whatever) from people's expreince at/during Carnival.

All the nurses I know would LOVE a night off and momentary distraction attend this. Hell, I'd buy their drinks. Several I know got dose 1 of the Pfizer vaccine today.

I'm sorry to hear that. If ya ever want to vent DM me. ?

Noooo! I live for your stories! Still stung from the last time or conflicting plans?

How small is small?? Also Rodrigo <wistful sigh>. Definitely NOT small in any sense of the word.
