Friday 6th March 2020.......Day 24!!!

I had a nice breakfast provided my hostess and said

my goodbyes and was on the road by 9.30am for the almost two hours drive to Indio.








Linda has always loved this group and she actually went to see them in concert in Phoenix last weekend...





....I was checking entertainment around where I am staying and I saw that they were doing a concert tomorrow evening at the Fantasy Springs casino which is like five minutes away from where my Airbnb is located.


So when I got into town I went to the casino and picked up my ticket for tomorrow.


My body was a little sore from the hike yesterday and the pool and hot tub looked too inviting and I figure buying a concert ticket entitles me to a swim and a good soak in the tub..it felt really good!!


I then found the gated community where my place is located and was met by the friendly owner who showed me around and this little studio is going to be a lovely place to stay till 23 rd March and my schedule is quite busy so will not be spending a great deal of time here........very comfortable!






















I unpacked my stuff got settled in and then went for a walk around the grounds...it really is a first class environment!










I had one of the frozen dinners that I had cooked earlier in the week and it was tasty and then watched some TV.


My friend Caron who has a condo here and is also working at the Tennis event along with her Mum, Stella, is already in town and she has set up a tennis game for us to morning....stayed tuned.


Received this from the volunteer coordinator for the tennis..
