About Me

We went full-time Rving in October of 2005! We retired from full time to part-time as of the end of 2015. Our present "small but comfortable" Wagon is a 2008 Camper trailer(TravelAir Rustler), pulled by a 2008 Dodge Dakota, 4X4.l. Our home is now a Gated Community Park, in Oliver, British-Columbia, Canada. I retired in 2005 and my Life Companion, Valerie, retired October 1, 2006 from nursing. We invite you to follow and share our new adventures and mishaps. Life is but an adventure full of dreams yet to be fulfilled!

March 28 to 31/13; Desert Pools to Indio, CA

MAR  28, Thursday, back to DHS
We are here for 7 nights then we will move back to Desert Hot Springs!  I took Val back to Desert Pools after fuelling @ $4.29, and she went out with Louise, Audrey and Ellen for a pedicure then the four of them went out to a Casino in Indio for dinner.  In the meantime, I took Tucker for a haircut then I went for lunch.  Afterwards, I went back to Indio where I checked out a couple of RV Dealers and had the truck washed for $10, beats doing it myself in this heat.  I went to pick up Tucker at 4 PM, took him home and went for dinner at a local Chinese bistro.  The food was quite good and I will be back.  I picked up Val at the Casino then we came home.  The other girls were going to a bingo in the Casino.  We had a drink, caught to each other news then it was bed time after watching the tube for a while.

 
MAR  29, Friday, to Cabazon, shopping
It’s going to be another hot one; already 84*F at 10AM!  We went to pick up Audy at DHS then drove to Cabazon, about a 20 minutes drive west on I-10 towards Los Angeles, to a huge Outlet stores.  My main goal was to find a vest at IZOD to replace the one I ruined but had no luck so I bought a pair of loafer instead at a shoe store.  Audrey bought a pair of wild and colorful pair of runner; Val restrained herself.  We had lunch there then drove back to Desert Hot Springs but we first stopped at a bar along the way which we had gone to a couple years back with our friends Glenda and Terry and had a marvellous evening of dancing; we had a couple drinks then came back to Desert Pools to drop off Audrey. She drove down to our Resort and had dinner with us.  Val took her around to take a look and Aud got some info and prices on the place.  It was a great day and we had fun.

 
MAR  30, Saturday, Geocaching
What a day and hot to boot!  Our intentions were to go Geocaching but we never got there.  We drove to McMAHON’s RV to looked at a couple motorhomes I had seen on their website; BIG MISTAKES!  We ended putting an offer on a 2003 BEAVER MONTEREY, diesel pusher!  We spent most of three hours looking, dealing and finally coming to a deal (pending).  We are trading in the fifth-wheel and the truck!  We called Rochelle and Jeffrey and told them the news.  When it was over, we went to “TILTED KILT PUB” and had lunch.  Audrey, Tom & Ellen and their friends, Ed & Joan arrived a while later and we told them the news.  Everyone is very excited for us!  We came home, had a drink outside then it was time for dinner.  What a day,  emotions are running high!!!

 
MAR  31, Sunday, Indio
I was up at 4 AM; just couldn’t sleep...wonder why!?  What a way to end a month!  We went to Desert Hot Springs and I moved Audrey’s motorhome after a short visit with Dave & Louise.  Audrey bought us breakfast at the corner restaurant then we took her home to Catalina Resort and we came back to Indio but we first stopped at McMahon RV and took a closer look at storage.  I think we may have to rent a small trailer to bring all our junk back; i.e.: kayaks, golf clubs and other things.  Time will tell!  Anyway, we are home at Indian Waters Resort and Val decided to do a wash.  It is hot out there, 94*F (32*C) and hardly any winds to speak of.
