We are still in Palm Springs, having extended our stay until March 1st to ride out the pandemic in warmth. California has been closed down for a majority of our stay since November 15th, but outdoor dining has just reopened. We are spending our days hiking, walking the downtown corridor, attending the zoo, riding our vintage tandem bicycle and enjoying our pool and hot tub. The local casino has a senior day at the cafe with free pastry with a coffee as well as 50% off lunch. Palm Springs is also a great place for medical tourism and we are catching up on medical appointments. We have also connected with friends and family.

Our current plan is to stay in the US until after Labor Day and then head to Portugal, one year later than our original plan. If Portugal is not feasible, it might be Thailand, Costa Rica or another destination. For now, we are heading back to Vegas on March 1st for 6 weeks, then San Diego for 4 weeks, Tucson for 4 weeks and then to Denver. We will head to Seattle in July, stopping in Sacramento and Oregon en route.
