I'm thinking of busting out of IAH for a few days. I need a getaway. My intermediate thought right now is to fly into PALM SPRINGS, CA and rent a car, drive up to 29 Palms and hang out for a day maybe a night, go over to Joshua Tree Natonal Monument, and check out some things in town, then maybe take a ride to the Marine Corps base to see how much that place has changed, remenice a little of the old days. Show my wife a window in my past. (Hope she don't freak on that one.) I want to see the Marines march the way I used to with the California desert mountainous back drop, windy and cold weather about this time of year. I've got this driving urge to do this, and then drive on to LAS VEGAS and finish out my scenic tour. I've gotta be the only person in the world renting a car to see a Marine Corps base over the Grand Canyon eh?
