Oh dear, on Saturday morning Lary felt sick, kind of a flu thing, which is a real drag seeing how close to departure day we are for our Hawaii trip. He stayed in bed both Saturday and Sunday most of the day, he got up when he was hungry and made some soup. Kind of worrying for us both.
Saturday I went over and had happy hour with Wendy and Dave, it was their last day in the house as their winter tenants were arriving who will stay for 3 months. Wendy and Dave had their 5th wheel out in front of their house, kind of packed and ready to go. The three of us went out for dinner to Applebees, yummy steak and shrimp.
Today Sunday I went down to Thermal to visit our pals Georgette and Harold from Nanaimo, I ended staying for dinner, then came home. The wind has kicked up, and of course the temps are down. They showed me around Oasis RV Park out there, quite nice, an old citrus grove which has been a campsite for about 16 years now.
It's very near the Salton Sea on the west side, a bit removed from most things, but they seem to like the location, whereas I prefer to be nearer a city. Apparently there is a road runner who promptly appears as soon as they fire up the tractor, I guess he runs behind when the ground is disturbed, picking up grubs and snakes and the like. Quite enchanting when you don't see them very commonly.
They gave me some tangerines and a lemon, and another lady in the campsite gave me 2 red peppers, so that was nice.
Tomorrow we have lots of stuff to do, and our suitcases to pack, then on Tuesday we'll be off to LA, then overnight there, and head out on our flight to Kona on Weds AM. Chip has been giving us all kinds of hints about the location of things, and foodly goodies to buy when we're there, so that is very neat.
I am getting very excited about our Hawaii trip now. Hoorah.
