Ah, if only I could get that rate the third weekend of April...

Heh, felt impelled to check the map and see where it is in relation to our usual area.

By the pool?

All right, it's a hotel. But what is the story?

It was designed by Albert Frey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Frey_(architect)).

Ahh, very cool.

We got to Palm Springs this afternoon. The weather is perfect - high 70's! The hotel is just as swank as it looked in the pictures. We have a private yard with a grapefruit tree outside the room. (pictures are forthcoming.)

We had dinner at a nice little Italian place on Palm Canyon.

Tomorrow we're taking the aerial tram up to the top of San Jacinto, where it's about 30 degrees colder. Snow!
