Day 1
Landed in Palm Springs!
February 8, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Nice to have friends in warm places!

Up and off to airport dressed in cool summer clothes! Freezing!! until we squished onto the plane.

Nice to have a short ride to our destination for a change!

Rita and Ken there to meet us in a wee lovey airport that is Palm Springs. Warm air!!

And sandwiches by the pool! Oh this warm air feels fabulous!

Off on a bike ride around the neighbourhood ending up at ACE motel - all these reno’d old fashioned places down here - unique! Dang it when R fell off his bike and re-injured his shoulder - again 🙄.

Yummy BBQ’d steak meal etc and many laughs. Learned a new game Mexican Trains! Super fun!! Ken won real game - R the practice game. Fell into bed for a huge sleep.Read more

Day 3
Swimming!
February 10, 2019 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
Relaxed getting up time after another deep sleep. Nice yoga time in Rita’s yoga space then a chill/reading time with oatmeal by the pool.

Then a swim! Felt so wonderful to have a really good swim again, with no pain! Knee working well.

To town for a super Mexican lunch meal at Las Casueles on Main Street- deelish and the live music was so much fun! Loved my blood orange margarita! R had cervesa and tequila!! Rita her usual cran soda and Ken also a cervesa.

Found some cool shirts for the boys! and Rich.

Fun grocery shopping time next - love shopping for groceries in different countries- yup, even the States! Ken got cake to celebrate his Dad’s 100th birthday LOL!

Back for lazy time - guys into the cutest little hot tub! Me to my diary and just lazing about. Could barely function b4 lunch - slowing so much!! Body feeling so much better in the heat.

Ended the eve with another round of Mexican Train - so fun! AND always nice to win THREE rounds of 4 LOL. I like it! Lots of golf talk as Rita heads out tomorrow to play in her league.Read more

Day 5
I actually GOLFED!!
February 12, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Up to an empty house LOL! Rita and Ken had skipped over to the golf course we were to play on to have breakfast (included in the golf game) and to check on the golf timing as there was a delay due to Frost!!

Had a nice relaxing tea/coffee by the pool until their return then made our way to the golf course - pretty nervous about this whole thing! Been likely 20 years since I’ve golfed. Buffet lunch all in LOL!

Lousy first hole and I thought - OMG! it’s going to be a long way around 18 holes. I was delighted however that my arms were strong and felt good! Even hitting Rita’s driver and often got it down the fairway a little bit! Rita playing well as was Ken! Rich began adjusting to his limitations with his shoulder issue and around we went - 4 1/2 hours and the chilly evening settled in and we completed! New shoes and clothes were perfect. Thinking I may have to do more of this golfing thing heh LOL.

Back for showers and freshening up.

Headed over to Saguaro hotel for a delicious margarita and nachos. Happy hour is THE big thing in this town - everyone is out and about! Checked out Woody’s - packed and reservations made for next day. Back for nibblers and a round of Trains - Ken won.Read more
