100 Degrees of Anticipation

TA DA! 2500 miles, 6 days of roadside attractions and a few too many replays of "(Get Your Kicks) on Route 66", our travelers have made it to Palm Springs and the magical motelier known as Ruby Montana.

At 5:00 on Wednesday, just in time for cocktails, we pulled up to the Bouganvilla draped gates of our favorite inn in the world. Ruby and the diminutive pup, Lola, were waiting for us with cold ones and a warm welcome. It's so nice to be home.

Today we're off to Indio, the county clerks office, to fill out paperwork for the marriage license. I almost can't believe it, his is really happening, Ruby is brushing off her reverend robes and the rings are in the motel safe.

This is going to be fun.

Isn't it?
