“Do you think we could actually make this happen?” Alice always questioned possibilities while Kyle always presented them. “Of course, once we talk to the others they will realize what a great idea it is and be eager to initiation that new tradition.” Alice had her hesitations and concerns but she actually loved the idea so much, and had just returned from an amazing trip to Palm Springs that she decided that it was definitely worth the effort to make it happen. The couple planned a dinner party for their four best friends the following weekend. That would give them plenty of time to get their photos ready and be able to present them with their gifts and also find a place to display the elegant new plant vase they acquired on their recent trip.

The following weekend’s plans seemed set and both Alice and Kyle were eagerly awaiting the evening and the chance to present their idea. They planned a meal that would emulate the great food they had at Miro’s and Kyle was happy to exercise his new culinary skills in the preparation of it. They gathered all sorts of information on the types of hotels that are in Palm Springs as well as various art walks and gallery information. A lot of this they had in brochures that they brought back with them.

All four of the friends arrived the following week and heading Kyle’s suggestion, the couple waited until after dinner to make their suggestion. This gave the friends time to fully enjoy Olive Tapanade, Cabbage Rolls and Shrimp Scampi appetizers as well as the Chicken Paprikash for the main meal. And this plan worked perfectly, they all loved the food and demanded to know where Kyle got the idea and recipe. That was the perfect introduction to talking about the pleasures of their recent trip and also let into making a suggestion that the six of them choose Palm Springs as their annual group weekend getaway. The plan worked perfectly and the six friends for the past four years have been making regular trips there together.
