youngboldone Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Booked at INNDulge for 7 nights - April 11 - 18. Can't wait!

+ Pensant Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I better get my ass in gear! I’m thinking of spending March in the former DDR, visiting Berlin, Dresden and Leipzig, among others, so I’ll be devouring the warm desert climate after that trek. Hopefully, there will be heating in the German hotels and Airbnbs. + Charlie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2play Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I'm more or less fully booked, INNdulge in PS from 13 to 17th, airline by AC return Montreal LAX (great deal under $500US) and Avis car rental at LAX. I'll be spending a night in LA both coming and leaving, which I haven't visited in close to 30 years, same for PS.

Is flying JFK-San Diego and then driving up from San Diego to Palm Springs a horrible idea? I would take the transcon to New York to LA and drive from there, or a small puddle jumper from LAX to PSP. I do love the New York to LA flights. Ontario airport ( ONT ) in San Bernardino is also a close enough airport to Palm Springs. I would say an hour away. Jet blue flies direct non stop New York to Palm Sings every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. I looked at the fares on Thursday they were already somewhat high I have a tentative holel booked. I also *may* be running the London Marathon on April 23, which means I need to get to London somehow on April 20ish . Easy enough from LA. I missed last year, will try to make this year, will be somewhat of a challenge logistically, since I'm coming from the East Coast,, it also depends on what's going on in my calendar before and after. It's rather hard to plan this far ahead. So I'm 50/50 at the moment, but do include me in your discussions please, thanks.

I've got a messed up shoulder and driving for more than about 15 minutes at a time isn't possible. The transportation options from Los Angeles to Palm Springs really aren't great and to complicate things even further, I've just moved down to Lakewood, near Long Beach. Last year, I was lucky enough to catch a ride to the weekend with AsianGuyCA and hopped FlixBus for my return trip on Monday, but finding a way to travel that 100 miles is always stressful.

+ nycman Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) And….JetBlue just fucked up my flight. I used to love that airline….now they pretty much suck. This is like the 5th flight change on various planned JetBlue flights in as many days. Now worries, dropped JetBlue and rebooked on American. Viva Capitalism!

Alex93108 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I likely won’t be able to stay long, since I need to travel for the marathon which is immediately after the event . If you had to pick a day pair which one should I aim for Friday Saturday or Saturday Sunday I would love to stay the week alas…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday is the dinner and Sunday the pool party so that is probably the pair that gets in the most activity if you are staying only two days. Depending on where you stay and if you know anyone, most go out after the Saturday dinner and the Sunday pool party. Usually Dinner on Sunday and Saturday is usually dealer's choice.

One thing already going wrong is the Canadian dollar going south before I can. The exchange rate is moving in the wrong direction for Canadians and others wanting to visit the US. Hoping it might recover before I have to convert into the greenback to pay my hotel in PS. I've already taken steps to prepay as much as possible like airfare and car rental. mike carey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epigonos Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Well now that I'm back home again I guess it is time to begin thinking about and to start planning the menu for the Sunday afternoon Pool Gathering. I DO unfortunately realize that the god awful deviled eggs are a must. Any other suggestions will definitely be considered and greatly appreciated. Again the more the merrier so get your name and information into Oliver ASAP. Also remember that hotel rooms are going to be tight this season in Palm Springs so make those reservations ASAP as well - if you decide latter not to attend you can always cancel them. I'm looking forward to seeing many familiar ("old") faces and many new ones.
