You all must be wondering why you haven’t heard from the Winos, especially after all the build up. Wait no longer, here is the first instalment.
I joined my fellow wino at her parent’s condo in Palm Springs just in time for Happy Hour. While we visited and told stories and drank… you guessed it… some wine, we took nary a photo. The wine flowed and the stories got louder and louder until we were all “shushed” into submission.
Post Happy Hour, my fellow wino and I took off for the bustling evening scene in downtown Palm Springs. Before we found our destination for the evening, we took in a few sights.
Walking down the street was a trip amongst the stars…

After a lengthy block… we decided upon a Karaoke Bar and found a table, and continued to entertain the masses for the evening. To Ally’s dismay… they didn’t have her fave Joe Walsh song…
… she did get to sing her next fave song…
We retire after singing many more, mostly me, and meeting some amazing people who gave us some tips on what to see and where to stop along the way.
The next morning, after packing up “Big Cheese” a.k.a. the van, Costa (Ally’s dog) gives us the go ahead to head off to Los Angeles.
After saying a teary good bye to Ally’s parents and neighbour Sylvia… we were on our way.
We plugged destination Altadena into our GPS (passed Pass-adena) and even our GPS recognized that we were driving “Big Cheese”.
Stay tuned… next stop… L.A. 🙂
