"Another day in paradise..."

I don't think there was one day we spent in Palm Springs when we didn't hear these words either at the pool,  on the golf course,  in restaurants, etc.  And there are a lot of days that we have been in Palm Springs.  I recently added them up and it's 2 weeks short of a year on 9 different occasions:

4 x 2 month stays
3 x 1 month stays
2 x 1 week stays

Oh...and Jim got another one week stay when his visited his golf partner,  Hans, who invited him to come to stay with him and his wife in Palm Springs.  Jim was doing some research in Los Angeles and had a meeting with Laura Huxley (I was slogging away in the school system at the time).    This visit introduced Jim to PS and we are eternally grateful to Hans because I'm not sure it would have been on our radar.

We just can't wait for all the paperwork to be finished and to get down to take possession of our condo and get it just the way we want it.  Although we've stayed in the Canyon Sands complex five of the times we've been in PS and been comfortable,  it's nothing like having everything just the way you want it.

BTW,  Jim has wanted to buy in PS since his first time there so this isn't exactly an impetuous decision...definitely in the "slow cooker" realm.  My parents didn't even spend one night on a Gulf Island before they bought their summer place on Gabriola and they were "careful" people.  Ah well,  it worked out for them and made me realize I wanted to travel the world which we've done and loved.  We're still trying to get off Vancouver Island let alone a Gulf Island!

Within minutes of our arrival in PS we will be jumping into our pool....can't wait!
