Hosted by some of us over on the GLBT Forum... and you KNOW we do the best parties, have the strongest drinks and will definitly have the cutest waiters and waitresses... think bikinis and speedos poolside.. it's a looong story! The final, definitive thread can be found in the GLBT Forum HERE.


(NOTE FROM YOUR GAYLA HOSTS: We suggest downloading Justin Timberlake's "Bringing Sexy Back" and singing along to that tune. LOUDLY. Perhaps with a martini or a very large espresso in hand. ) Then read all of our amusing, funny comments. You will find an itinerary,how to pay, who-is-coming and hotel, flight and car suggestions. Some of these are in the second post.


Bringin’ Sexy Miles Back!

(Please know that this took hours and hours of listening and RELISTENING to Justin Timberlake playing a str8 man.... ... to get all the right words and syllables to match. The LEAST you could do is download the song from iTunes, etc., to see what a fab job we did! )

THE FOURTH ANNUAL PALM SPRINGS FLYERTALK GAYLA!
MARCH 23-25, 2007

How to surpass Gayla II in 2005 or Gayla III in 2006?



Discounts, tips and itineraries follow. Hotel info is in the 2nd post because this one is already too big. Please add your comments and reviews in a post and they will be moved to the review area in the second post. It is not possible to go through all the PSP threads but we do remember that lots of folks had good suggestions at various times.
************************************************** **************

This is a PG rated event and ALL FLYERTALKERS are welcome and encouraged to attend. We have quite a handsome following of heterosexuals that attend! Please come, everyone! As a matter of fact, this event is always cross-posted in the Community Forum HERE so that all can be in the fun! All Events are rated PG.

This is a very, very, very fun event. Several of us have wandered around past Gaylas in dazed amazement at how much fun these PSP Do’s really turn out to be! The crowd is very mixed of all different ages, shapes, colors and sexes. Dress is casual, fun and resort-y.

Also, please be courteous of some member’s anonymity. As well, if you would prefer not to be named on the list, please just email or PM me so that I can add you to the count. This worked well last year for a few members. If you do not say otherwise I will add your name(s) to the list.

HOST HOTEL:The Desert Moon Resort. Next door to Toucan’s and across the street from Rick’s. The manager is the former manager of The Villas and has successfully wooed us away from there. WE HAVE THE ENTIRE HOTEL!! Let them know you are with the FlyerTalk-Martini Party Group. DO NOT use Travelocity. The hotel has said that they will beat those rates.

They love, love, love us and have given us a GREAT high-season deal:

Our discounted price for Friday and Saturday is $129/ night for suites and $119 for rooms+. And we get 50% off rack rates on Thursday and/or Sunday! Please ask them to extend this discount if you stay other nights.

These discounts will be honored as long as there are rooms available.

AIRPORTS

Local airport: PSP. This airport is really, really cute and worth flying into if it is not a lot more money. And no, you will not need a car if you are only there a couple days. Hotels have free parking and there are some awesome daytrips.NOTE that the car rental desks here close early: 9/10pm!

Alternative Airports: LAX, SAN (2-3 hour drive depending on traffic), SNA, BUR, ONT( @ 2hour drives +- depending on traffic), LAS (cheeeeeap rental cars but a 4 hour, albeit gorgeous, drive).

Some creative routing may be beneficial. For example, last year AS for $108 SFO-PSP was found. While that may not work for the Gayla(who knows, though!) it does seem that a low fare to SFO, ONT, LAX or LAS may be combined with a low fare to PSP.

------------------
------------------

SIDETRIPS: Many available! Also several special events that cannot be had elsewhere.

If you can get in on Thurs nite - Palm Springs has a street fair downtown- they close down the main street to traffic and there are booths up and down the street . I had the most marvelous roasted corn - yum makes me want to come back . - jan_az

The Palm Spring Follies are supposed to be fabulous. The ladies are all retired show girls, some from Broadway, others from Radio City Music Hall, and so on. I've see a video and they are terrific. The run is usually from November through May 30. Thanks to SanDiego1K


Joshua Tree National Park is a few miles away and is a beautiful drive with hiking and walking available.

There is a big Casino in downtown PSP.

Palm Springs even has an Air Museum.

This will be a very fun weekend... Don’t Miss It and SEE YOU THERE!
