Skiing Attempt Number 1

We went skiing. At Grouse Mountain.

Sno-Mo-Scooter

Steve took his scooter to work today and had to drive home in the snow that fell throughout the day.  Here’s his story.

Sweet Ride

My shiny new carbon fiber bicycle arrived today!  I no longer have to rely on only my 75 pound Trek.

Leaving Las Vegas

So that’s it! This is the end of our Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Las Vegas trip. We departed the Luxor and headed for the airport. Got on our flight without incident, other than having to deal with a snarky barista at the Starbuck’s at the airport.

We flew first class to Seattle where we caught a [...]

Last Ve-Gasp

We started this day in Vegas (our last real day there) by having an overpriced light breakfast of fruit and pastries, along with some ridiculously priced coffee at Starbucks.

Expensive Grand Canyon Booties

Bye Bye Palm Springs

Well, slightly sadsies today, having to leave Palm Springs.  We hung around as long as we possibly could until the maid said “Check out is 11:00!  Get the hell out!”

We reluctantly left our beautiful resort and made our way to Las Vegas.  Surprisingly navigating the freeway traffic was not a problem and we only had [...]

Palm Springs Part 3

Wow, things just get better and better here. We have been enjoying our resort – see the tour below. We liked it so much here that we stayed an extra day.

We have begun to get into a routine. Steve goes for a bike ride in the morning while I get orgnized and [...]
