• This is fun - Swing dancing! (wmv video, linked from byoi in hong kong)

  As per our previous post, we’re very excited about going to Palm Springs this Xmas. Not just the destination itself;  we imagine that the journey there would be interesting too. We are looking forward to getting firsthand experience of the Californian desert, dinosaurs by the roadside and other quirky pieces of Americana…

  As we’re booked into the Caliente Tropics resort (a tiki-themed motel), I did some digging around on the internet for reviews (as I do) - and came across this interesting discussion thread with some history on the place.

  More later…

  Lotta Living website/forums… Getting some great info on where to see Googie/Modern/Tiki architecture in the Palm Springs area. We might also go to the Joshua Tree National park…

  There may not be any blogging until the weekend… as I debate whether or not to take my laptop to Palm Springs. (I should be enjoying the great outdoors, not in front of a computer!). 

  Until then,  Eddie and I wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
