RESORT
We have stayed in Oasis many times before, the last being 2015. We like this resort, it is very quiet. There aren't any activities.
I hated that we had an upstairs unit, those stairs are treacherous.
The kitchen is extremely well stocked, it even had a potato masher and provided salt and pepper.
Housekeeping is once a week.
FOOD
Our first meal was lunch as Las Casuelas, as we had always enjoyed it there.
We ate at Bill's Pizza twice, downtown Palm Springs and Desert Hot Springs. We both thought DHS was a better pizza. But we had done PS on a Monday when wine was 1/2 price.
We also had a lunch and a dinner at Blue Coyote downtown.
Strange sight - Mr. and Mrs. S. Claus seated next to us.
On our last night we went to the Purple Room Supper Club.
Breakfast was always in the condo. We used the BBQ once, it was electric so it didn't get hot enough.
SHOPPING
We went to the factory outlets twice, because there was a power outage the first time.
The dinosaurs are more exciting that a shopping mall, and they are next to it.

I had shopped at T J Maxx's and John came with me the second time.
ENTERTAINMENT
Purple Room
HIGHLIGHTS
We always find new things to see. There were lots of murals to explore.
Marilyn was top of my list and we found her, accidently, on our first trip into Palm Springs.
Cathedral City
Pioneertown was fun but cold!
Coachella was new to us.
The Cabot Museum was a great find in Desert Hot Springs.
Driving to the Salton Sea, we stopped and had a date shake and a root beer float.
I'm disappointed we never did find Slab City.
Bombay Beach was a quirky find for a beer.
John got lots of golf in.
Indio
La Quinta
