It was without question the right decision to stay in the Palm Desert until today even though we really didn't do a whole hell of a lot! A bit of housecleaning, inside and out of the BP and a little sightseeing and a whole lot of wishing, hoping and praying that we will return and it will be for a lot longer than 9 days.
We did take a drive out to Lake Cahuilla, which is just a few mile from the RV park and on the edge of La Quinta. Pretty man made lake, apparently stocked with fish, and there was also a nice (full hook-up) campground. Would not mind staying there at all. On the way home we stopped in La Quinta at The Hogs Breathe, which is still partially owned by the man himself, Clint Eastwood. The hostess says he pops in a few times a year and that he is very nice and very handsome...DUH!!
After a nice Margaretta and appie, we drove down to El Paseo Street, which is the "Rodeo Drive" of the Palm Desert. Most shops were closed by then but I did score an Americano at the Starbucks and Jeff got a few cigars. Oddly enough there was a salon called...

(too bad they spelled "Alan" wrong)
(or maybe we aren't "upper crust" enough to know how to spell)

Finished our walk about town and headed home but I just had to do a "drive-by" in one of the la-di-da Indian Wells resorts. One of the few that wasn't gated, anyway. I believe it was a Marriot or something but we did get to drive around the grounds a bit and then actually parked and walked the grounds a bit too.
Spent a lot of yesterday putzing, washing, and we had a bit of swim/spa time in the afternoon. Got everything ready so we could leave early this morning as we thought the drive to Mesa would be 6-7 hours. Close....left at 8, lost an hour at the border and we were parked and settled by 3. Pretty area, huge RV park (over 1700 spots, mostly park models).

Welcome to Arizona!

Tomorrow Julie and John arrive (late evening) and Friday they close on their new Mesa home!!! Can't wait to see it and can't wait to see them.
