Talking of 'stings'. See previous blog!!

Here we were the other day sitting out enjoying a glass of wine when a huge wasp flew into Stuarts glass. He fished it out and put it in the hybiscus. It later flew out (drunkenly) and landed on Tony's side and stung him!! (See  picture of  sting ointment on Tony's side). Now, trying to get a wasp sting out of somebody who can't keep still is a bit of a trial ... but I did it, hero that I am!!!!

Now, talking of sting operations, it transpires that the Chief of Palm Springs Police Dept, David Dominquez was at the scene of the sting operation in Warm Springs for part of the entrapment fiasco. So, another e-mail address to add to the list on the previous blog .... chief@pspd.com. Was it Dominquez who uttered the gay slur? Time will tell and the truth will be out.

I havn't heard a word from anybody I e-mailed regarding this disgusting blot on Palm Springs reputation. I think I'll send it again and include the 'chief'.

Onward and upward, another lovely weekend here in Palm Springs. International visitors in from Canada and England; then Hawaii, Indiana, Northern and Southern California. Some regular visitor and some we hope will become regular visitors.

We are coming to the end of our 'off peak' season where everyone wants a bargain ... we blame organisations like Travalocity and Priceline for all this trying to 'negotiate prices'. We want you to stay with us because you want to stay with us; not because we're CHEAP. That said, next summer we will be offering rooms at 2001 prices to celebrate our 10th anniversay of opening as Chaps Inn (we were The Colibri Inn for 5 months until then). Watch this space and the website for further details.

At least 3 of our guests have visited Whitewater since they saw the entry on the blog. None of them knew it existed!!! Stuart and I hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend.
