Off to Palm Springs!

[+ Oliver]

Epigonos and I start off for Paradise (my appellation, not his) tomorrow morning! With stops in St. Louis, Oklahoma, Albuquerque and Phoenix, we plan to arrive on Friday, February 1. Bring on the sunshine, goodbye "gray-uglies"!

Oh man, lucky you. It is going to be in the minuses in Chicago next week so please enjoy yourself when you arrive. Of course, we will all see you in PS in April. So start boiling those eggs when you need to.

Was 79F in PS yesterday and high of 80F at my house. I was ready for warmer temps! Felt good.

Go West Young Man! Wishing you a safe trip and reminding you to stop for gas before you have to push the car to the tank. Looking forward to the April gathering.

How many years have you been doing this? I remember the time you came thru Utah and we got together. I really wish I could see you again in Palm Springs.

 

Travel safe and I hope the weather cooperates.

PS is getting close! My young friend is very excited about the weekend.

 

I am on your wavelength. It was -23 degrees here yesterday. We got no mail because of the cold (which is perfectly understandable). All I remember is palm trees, mountains, swimming pools, and deviled eggs. And I smile.

[+ Oliver]

Thanks for all the good wishes! We got in yesterday before noon after clear sailing across country. All that wintry stuff was behind us! Now it's time to start the planning - well, after a short respite to enjoy not having to drive all day. Thanks again for the help. Hugs to all!

Congrats on a safe migration! See you soon, friend!

[+ Charlie]

You can spend the day relaxing at the pool. Oops! It's cold and raining.

I’ll have to learn to pronounce @Epigonos’ name before the PS Weekend!

I’ll have to learn to pronounce @Epigonos’ name before the PS Weekend!

It's easy and one syllable.

I need to learn more about PS as a tourist destination.

 

I last visited 25 years ago for a conference out at the Westin Mission Hills. The 1-2 times I tried venturing into town were uninteresting. I took the tram up Mt Jacinto, and was so put off by the admonition to stay on the paved path, I took the next tram down. I flew back to SF a day earlier than planned.

 

That was then, this is now, and 25 yo older makes for different perspectives; Ready and interested in trying PS again. Anyone recommend a good travel guide? The only thing I know I want to do is Joshua Tree.
