Moving on

Alas, the time has arrived. One more fantastic dinner by the pool and we must away in the early hours tomorrow to the "Valley of the Sun." Possibly people in Kamloops think they live in the valley of the sun and maybe it's "a valley of the sun" but for sure it isn't "the" valley of the sun. It has been a great warm-up to the real thing.

The week has gone by at breakneck speed - although we are leisurely and relaxed in every way. That never happens during a work week. Just experienced an interesting thunder, lightning, wind, and rain storm. But it's over now, the sun has emerged and it is baking out there again. Wild.

It's the cocktail hour (feels like the cocktail month) and so, more pressing agenda items need to be addressed. Next post from Phoenix.

I'm in the 'loops

Man it's hot. And it's only halfway hot compared to our next destination. The resort here, Chez Regush, is perfect in every way. Beautiful airconditioned accomodations. Fine dining with an incredible wine selection. Golf at first class courses. (if you like that kind of thing). Attentive staff. The pool is lovely. There is a fully equipped workout room, free wireless internet, plasma bigscreen with HDTV. The owners are solicitous and warm. We have fine evening conversations. What more could one want? Absolutely nothing.

And what does this cost? Well, you know. It's priceless.
