The two Bills and I made it to Palm Desert. Bill Jr drove the 11 hour trek from San Francisco down to Palm Desert not long after getting off the plane from India.

We have a nice suite though not the Presdiential accomodations of last year.

The Bills are now getting the free breakfast that you can eat outside by the pool. I was up on New York time for mine. Many kids are running around excited about christmas and we think of and miss Namy and Jack. I am sure they will be thrilled with all the great presents Santa Claus might bring them. ;)

Today we will do some last minute shopping and maybe take the tram to get an aerial view of where we are. It promises "360° of Wow" where rotating tramcars whisk you up 8,516 feet to the Mountain Station.

More later.

Miss you all at this time of year.

Kate and Bill and Bill
