Pictures are worth 1,000 words!I have been to Palm Desert, for a Slow Travel get together.
This was a chance to meet the friends I have made in this internet community. Some I have met before, some I only know online. 
Gail and John~ I have never met in person before. We met for the first time in Salt Lake City... people at the airport must have thought we were sisters separated at birth. We were instant friends... which is lucky because we are going to Italy together in a few months with Gail's Great Escapes. 
I finally met Jerry, another food blogger; who kept me in stitches most of the week. He is also going to be a part of our great escape. We can't wait!
I shared a condo in Palm Desert with new friends...Kathy, who also does small group tours in a Luberon Experience. Terry is 'just a nurse' like me (she is a nurse anesthetist). 
We rented a great condo on the golf course, with our own golf cart.
The highlight of the weekend was a dinner for 48, hosted and prepared by PalmaBella and her wonderful husband.
I'll make another whole post on the meal... Un- Believable!
This says it all about Palma's kitchen.
I am glad to be home. I was panicking when I realized I couldn't get my wireless to work. Isn't that pitiful? I can't wait to show you pictures.Buon Appetito y'all!

Welcome Back! Great photos and it sounds like you had an unbelievable time! We love Palm Desert and own a timeshare at Shadow Ridge. From one of your photos, it kinda looked like Shadow Ridge, was it? Can't wait to hear more.
Hugs!
