To The Royal Reigning Duchess of Scottsdale - Fairyland, Her Eminence, The Divine SkooterG (who won't see this Forum post until she awakens at 10 AM): Greggie, if you and GS Jane wanted to ride over and back, and party hearty, with Donna and I, you are more than welcome to ride along with us. We will leave Donna's house in Chandler at 0730 on Friday, make a brief stop in Orange, CA to bring lunch in to my 88 year old Mom Veda and check into the Super 8 on Sepulveda Blvd., Torrance. We will party with Richard, Smitty and others at Fairlaner's palatial mansion until we reach a drunken stupor and then take a cab back to the hotel. Next morning, Donna and I will walk if its close enough, or take another taxi, to the beach pier restaurant that Wolfhound has recommended to us. Return to Senor El Rhickey Roo's house around Noonish.
Donna's never seen Palm Springs, so we are forgoing San Diego on this trip; she wants to be back in Chandler by dark.
We're staying Saturday night in Palm Springs at Motel 6. We plan on a nice evening dinner and shopping for Donna on Sunday morning in ritzy old money part of Palm Springs, along with brunch. On the road by 1300 hours back to Arizona.
