Indian Wells

Kept forgetting to post the photos from March trip to Indian Wells with Chris. Such an enjoyable trip and adventure to see more professional tennis.

We stayed in Palm Desert at the Hilton Embassy Suites. It turned out to be a good choice as the hotel provided free busses to the tennis which was about half hour away.

The weather was cool to warm. Generally always needed a jacket in the evening. The days were sunny.

The Indian Wells Tennis Center is quite impressive. With our day pass tickets we could venture pretty much any where except Stadium 1. It was perfect for us to see big names and up-and-coming players.

We also got in some of our own tennis and a spa day thanks to Chris' generosity. And I introduced Chris to vegan/plant-based meals.

Giant room

After months of staying at the Hilton Executive Suites, I got a big big suite.  There is a sofa with coffee table, a conference table with four chairs,  large L-shaped desk with credenza and a large walk thru bathroom.

Thank you, Lauren, at the front desk.

A warm welcome

I've been staying at the same Hilton hotel in Charlotte for months.  The staff is fantastic. 

Shout out to Brittany and Lauren at the front desk.  Talk about making you feel welcomed - they are so genuinely friendly.

And you can't top Aubrey and Ester in the restaurant.  More than attentive, they know what I want before I do.

Now if the guy that man's the executive lounge had a clue...
