May 25-27, 2023 - Andiamo to Palm Desert

So on this Memorial Day Long Weekend in our RV Park we are able to enjoy some nice live music around the pool. Very good musicians playing some great classic rock music. The bonus for us is that our site is in good earshot allowing us to enjoy the music beside our Andiamo under the shade of a beautiful tree. Yes, we are enjoying our RV resort and break here in the desert.


Thursday night I was invited to see Game one of the semi finals of the AHL, the American Hockey League is the step down league of the NHL - the Farm Teams of the National Hockey League. The Coachella Valley Firebirds play here in a brand new arena, the Acrisure Arena only opened this past January - a great 10,000 seat venue. We had some fantastic seats about 6 rows up from the ice. A 6 to 4 win made for an exciting game and atmosphere in the building.


Friday, the 26th we shopped a bit and relaxed at the Resort. I did visit the Apple store and had someone help me create a US Apple account do that I could download the Airstream Smart Controller to my iPhone. So step one is complete, I now have the app, now moving to step two and linking Andiamo to my phone, easier said than done. Stayed tuned on this as it is an exercise that has me and my buddy, Ron, scratching our heads.


Today, Saturday the 27th was a fun day with a relaxing morning around the pool, some nice poolside music and then we went and had a visit with some cruise ship friends living in the close by community of Palm Springs. George Geary and Neil invited us over to their beautiful retro 60’s complex, Palm Springs retreat. The bonus was that Dee and Wells Wescott were also invited for and afternoon soirĂ©e. We have had some wonderful shared experiences with former HAL Guest Chef George and the Wescotts. Thank you George and Neil for you wonderful hospitality and showing us your wonderful retro oasis getaway here in Palm Springs.
