Thank you @David-SF for being such a gracious Host as always!  😘
To say I enjoyed myself by your and your husband's hospitality is an understatement.

Thank you, David and Todd for  your gracious hospitality in your beautiful home! It was great to see people I’ve met before and meet new people. Thanks again!

That man is not only incredibly nice, but also very down to earth and has a great taste in cookies. I split a pack of them with him in a hot tub and he is hilarious!
Don't even get me started on the body. It looks just as good in person.

Thanks to everyone for a great weekend, the usual suspects who did the heavy lifting, @Oliver and Phil, @David-SF, @sam.fitzpatrick, @azdr0710 for his tireless taxi service (and bit of In N Out). Thanks @Simon Suraci for your invaluable advice on things to do in San Diego, if only I'd had time to more of them. The zoo is worth it in itself. I know there are things and people I've missed and for that i apologise.  À l'année prochaine!

Finally back on the East Coast and now the decision to be made is whether or not to put a bid in on one of the two houses that I saw and liked.  I will need to make a quick decision and I am 50 50 on it right now.   Thanks to Oliver and David and the whole Palm Springs crew for all their work and hospitality.    

It's always difficult getting back to reality after the weekend.   It was so fun as always and a pleasure catching up with everyone.  Thanks to @azdr0710 for organizing the hikes and the outing to Sunnylands, to @Oliver for hosting the lovely Sunday pool party, and to @David-SF for hosting the kickoff pool party on Friday.  

Thanks to all who worked  hard to make the entire weekend a success. It was great fun catching up with people I’ve met before and meeting new people and making new friends.

no, but there may be cookie crumbs around the jacuzzi.  😈👣😜

naughtiness around the pool? *clutches pearls*

Sorry I missed this year's event. I had a travel conflict last week. I love your reports and was privileged to be phoned by samfitzpatrick yesterday while he was lounging around the Inndulge pool with sfwestcoaster and mikecarey. Sam updated me on some of the participant's naughtiness and the talent that strutted around the pool.  😘  Sounds like I missed a good time. 😁
Hope to see y'all again soon!

Me and maturedmuscle/Steve had a wonderful time (PM me if you want to know more), but I'm actually tired and glad it's over (there were a few setbacks on my trip), and as always, it's the people we met that made the biggest difference and joy. Making friends and meeting new people is the highlight of the trip, and I can't thank @Oliver @azdr0710 @sam.fitzpatrick and @David-SF enough for their kindness, attention to detail, gregariousness, and all in all making this year a wonderful success.

Another amazing year! Unfortunately, I am still recovering from a touch of sun poisoning on Sunday so I missed the breakfast yesterday, and had to call out of work today but overall, it was definitely worth it. 😈A huge thank you to @David-SF who always kicks the weekend off in style and to @Oliver for making sure it ends with a bang. Also a special thank you to @purplekow and Vin for allowing @Robster and I to invade their space while we were 'visiting' Inndulge. 

Wonderful weekend as always! I've lost track of how many of these I've attended, but it's become the highlight of the year for me. Really sorry to have missed @David-SF's pool party and the dinner, but it was great to see everyone. Thank you @Oliver and his Hot Helpers for keeping it going. Always so much fun!

Great to have met you, @BodeBrentwood, I'm so glad you enjoyed the weekend.

Climbing into my bed after an eventful and adventurous weekend. It was so incredible getting to meet everyone and feel welcomed. Thank you to @David-SF and @Oliver for throwing such wonderful get togethers and thank you to @Summerson for the invitation in the first place. I'm sad that I'm not more west coast oriented, but if anyone ever would like to connect or chat between now and next year, I'm always a message/text/DM away.
 
PS-I will never be able to look at grapefruits with a straight face again.

I just got home to LA and I already miss the warm weather of Palm Springs. Thank you again for a fun weekend. Everyone who hosted @David-SF and @Oliver! Plus everyone who I connected and re-connected after the year! It was my 3rd time going in a row and it was my favorite year yet! Hope to see you all again and maaaaaybe ill find myself at Inndugle next year 💞

I dropped my phone in the InnDulge hot tub last night. It was submerged for a few seconds and the touch screen now isn’t working. Fingers crossed it dries out and returns to normal. In case anyone is texting me I am not ingoring you. I can’t respond now, but will get back once my phone is working again.

Spectacularly awesome pool party. Thank you to Oliver as well as his helpers with the delicious food and fun pool toys. It's a secret joy about the party I like with the video montage of clothes-less hotties on the computer screen while we're waiting our turn to use the potty. I so enjoyed meeting new people, catching up with people I saw last year, and just "letting it all stub out" a bit before heading home. The heavy wind blew quite a bit of White Claw into the water, so I may be a little tipsy as I'm typing this! 😃

In LA, have car, see you all tomorrow!
PS. I hate the LAX immigration queue. Over 90 minutes tonight. OK, I'm over it now!!

And the gathering begins ...😄😃😊

With regrets I am unable to attend your pool party but I will be there in spirit. 

Thank you David and Todd. I look forward to seeing you two and others at your party! BTW, I was texting with Vin Marco recently and he is also going to your pool party. See you on the 12th of April!

Eid Mubarak! And a glorious autumn day it is in Canberra. A far nicer day to walk to the bus stop than it was yesterday, 9 degrees at midday and cold rain. And I am about to do just that now, to go to the airport for my flights to Melbourne then on to Los Angeles. I can't wait to get to Palm Springs tomorrow. Well Thursday, and it is already Wednesday here, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

And Sydney is in the band of totality but near its southern edge, a bit further north at say Newcastle would be closer its centre. The path of the eclipse will be from the NW, moving to the south-east of the country. I've seen (well experienced) one, 200km south of Canberra, in the mid-seventies. It was overcast, but you certainly knew it was happening, and the 'shadow' of totality was still obvious.

I saw the 2017 eclipse at 100% totality under clear skies (Oregon). It's something everybody should see. Absolutely incredible. We were on a mountain top and watched the shadow race toward us from 100 miles away. 2028 in Australia anybody??!!
