New Neighbor Alert!

Behold:

My fancy new neighbor!

I've always wanted to take a road trip in one of these.

 I think maybe this summer I should rent one for a week or two, and try it out!

Happy Traveler RV Park Palm Springs

I really think the Christmas decorations at The Happy Traveler RV park are pretty fun- how can you not smile when you see Santa and Mrs. Claus on patio furniture?  Would you have expected anything else from a trailer park in Palm Springs? 

Scooting Around Palm Springs

With all the warnings from the residents at Palm Springs' Happy Traveler RV Park about how hard it is to get around the park during season, I decided to purchase a 1968 Honda Cub Scooter at a garage sale.  It's been a blast, and really has come in handy when two or three RVs are moving in and out of spots blocking passage for my giant cars.  I just hop on the scooter and tear over to my office at The Paul Kaplan Group.  It makes quite a noise, and parking is a cinch in our lobby!

Just because I am in love with the whole thing.  Thanks to James Butchart for the photo!

New Wheels: 1968 Honda 50 Cub

I've heard that getting in and out of The Happy Traveler RV Park can be quite an ordeal during season.  I am nipping that in the bud- I bought a 1968 Honda Cub  (Tuxedo!) with less than 40 kilometers on the clock from new.  I found it at a killer garage sale that former clients of mine Samantha and Chad had in El Rancho Vista Estates about two weeks ago.  I sold them their Wexler-designed house about two years ago.  Garage sales rock in Palm Springs!

The Happy Traveler: Trailer Park Living

You see the most interesting combinations in rigs come through The Happy Traveler.  This converted bus was towing a late 70s/early 80s Mercedes 240.  I was seriously in love with these as a kid in the early 80s.  The neighbors next door have a Volkswagen fetish:  A Karmann-Ghia and a Microbus!

Season is Almost Here!

I was terribly excited to see that they'd taken down the iron fence around the shuffleboard courts at The Happy Traveler.  It's been so long since I played- I might need a refresher on the rules.  Simultaneously, lots more RVs have started to appear at the park.
