CONTINUING

SAGA .. PART 2 .. APRIL 30 2013 ..

Monday morning we left Phoenix on our way to Palm Springs.  Would arrive early afternoon.  Game plan was to spend Monday afternoon and all day Tuesday, then head on to other things.  Ha Ha Ha!!!

Beautiful when we started out.  About two thirds into the trip wind pick up.  Really picked up.  Then the sand storm hit.  Sounded like hail hitting the truck.  Couldn't see anything but sand.  Needless to say we were later arriving in Palm Springs than anticipated.  Not only did we have to contend with the sand storm, the road we were routed on to enter Palm Springs as closed for repairs.  Had to detour.  Can't blame any of this on Rachel, so guess who got blamed.


Checked in to our hotel, and decided to extend our stay, just in case.  Across the street around the corner was my "new car". 

Spent the remainder of the day exploring.  Decided to get tickets for the follies.  This was Monday.  Our tickets were for Wednesday evening.  Good thing we extended our stay.


Tuesday bright and early were headed downtown to the tour agency.  We had booked a bus tour of Palm Springs, one of the highlights was seeing the homes of the movie stars, etc., who had made P.S. their get-away residence.  So much history.  So much fun.

Mid-way through the tour we were to visit a small mom and pop store - they were going to have date shakes ready for us.   This is date country after all.

Well, guess I had better get busy on some outside work.  Have a good day and God Bless.

To be continued.........
