Sunday we took what we call a sea day (on a cruise we have days at sea where there are no excursions and you just hang out on the ship). We took advantage of our site and the pool entertainment and catching up on some household chores. As mentioned our site is within easy earshot of the pool music which on this holiday weekend was great. The pool was packed and so it should be for the Memorial Day weekend. The crowd was friendly with everyone enjoying beverages of their choice by and in the pool. I went for a few swims and was relaxing at the edge of the pool when a fellow camper came by who had his cooler right there and he offered me a beer, or soda or even water - so yes a nice crowd.
That night Ron suggested that we go out for an Italian dinner, so we all checked out a place named, Waldo’s. Ron said the place he wanted to go was unfortunately not open this night. Waldo’s was good, especially when the waiter said that all wine by the bottle is half price tonight, lol. After dinner Ron suggested that we have a nightcap at the beautiful Mariott hotel close by. The place was packed with only one table left in the lounge, so a wonderful nightcap was enjoyed by all. We had a very nice Sunday.
Monday we had arrangements to join fellow cruise friends, Lucia and Henk for lunch at J’s Deli. This is a relatively new eatery here in Palm Springs and it did not disappoint. They have a full menu, breakfast through dinner with excellent food and very good portions. It was so wonderful seeing our friends here in their home base city. The last time we saw Lucia and Henk was last year on the Voyage of the Vikings on the beautiful Zaandam. Thank you so much Lucia for organizing our get together, so nice catching up with you two. We will now be back here in November, let’s do this again.
Tuesday was getting organized day and picking up a few items as we leave this oasis paradise to continue our journey to our next location, the Grand Canyon. We have three nights to get there with our first stop at Buckskin State Park in Arizona. Time to pack up.
