P.S. I LOVE YOU

I was recently in L.A. and took a drive to Palm Springs. Yes, the bumper to bumper traffic in L.A. makes me crazy, so I was looking forward to unwinding at the lovely Colony Palms Hotel. This historic property has been lovingly restored recently -- the Spanish Colonial style hotel was orginally owned by a mobster -- so the vibes are cool! Boutique hotel with a great restaurant where you can dine under the moon and stars. Or go in the hot tub to relax...it's all here, with none of the pretensions of the other Palm Springs "cool" scene hotels. Spa, pool, gorgeous courtyard, all with a Moroccan flair. Great rates, take a look at http://www.colonypalmshotel.com/home.php
