Time to get caught up with our travels with Kingsley, our 34 year old GMC Motorhome which we have owned for the last eight years.
January 12th 2011 we flew out of YEG to Palm Springs to join up with our home away from home, Kingsley. Melissa’s friend, Ronald , drove us to the airport. The temperature @ 7:00 am was -30C and there was tons of snow on the ground. Also, there were lots of check-points, security, etc. It’s good that we were there 1 ½ hours before our flight
Three hours later, we arrived in Palm Springs. Glorious weather…the air smells so good! Cab drive, ten minutes, and we were at the Cathedral Palms RV Park and reunited with our Kingsley before noon!
We drove to Walmart to buy bike tires then to PS Cyclery where we left my bike for repair. On the way back,we made a stop at Trader Joe’s for some groceries. Both of us were exhausted by 8:00 pm.

We took a long walk in the morning and had lunch at a Mexican restaurant next to the Big Lots Store. Walking back, we stopped at the Incredible Artist’s Gallery- great artwork and classes in Cat. City Centre.
We picked up my bike then went to Costco for major grocery shopping and gas.
We are pretty well settled in and have great neighbours!

Stayed close to home and washed all the windows on the coach…..really dirty! We didn’t spend a cent today!! We watched “The Stepford Wives” on the laptop tonight.
