Up, up and Away

Emily Kerr languorously stretched across the expanse of the silk coverlet draping the bed of the Palm Springs Resort. . Decorated in a light ocean green palette, it reminded her of the Pacific Ocean they’d left behind yesterday. Cool, comfortable and peaceful.

Pulling one of the overstuffed feathered pillows to her chest, Emily opened her eyes a crack, to the October morning light streaming through the large glass windows. Light danced off the red desert mountain vista beyond. The view was as unbelievable as the room and just as serene in its own way.

The resort was definitely nicer than the motel she’d arranged for them to stay in. That was a major understatement. They were in two completely different ballparks. The resort was so wonderful she’d had to tell Carol about it.

As the valet pulled up in a golf cart and asked if he could help them, Billy’s reaction had turned comical. He’d never stayed anywhere this fancy. It had taken all her willpower not to outright laugh at him. Not wanting anyone else driving the SUV with her hot air balloon stored on the back, she asked if there was a spot to park in order to keep the balloon out of harm’s way.
