			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“What makes the desert beautiful,” said the little prince, “is that somewhere it hides a well…”<em>The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry</em></p>
<p>It is as if the line is seamless from there to there. Inside and outside viewed from the sparkling windows of each luxurious room. <a title="Joshua Tree Oasis" href="http://joshuatreeoasis.com">Joshua Tree Oasis</a> is like a living, breathing entity of life at its purest and most exquisite form.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSC5355.jpg"><img title="JTO Windows" src="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSC5355-1024x681.jpg" alt="" width="573" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>You know that somewhere beyond there are bobcats and coyote and starlings and tortoises and reptiles and wild yucca and on and on…each finding sustenance from the wealth of the land, the hidden springs thriving…beyond each window where you gather to dine and dance and make love and play music and light a roaring fire and sleep the deepest sleep of your life.</p>
<p><span id="more-1635"></span><img title="More..." src="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/blog/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>You, wrapped in a cocoon of elegance and sensuality and awaiting adventure. What is the secret of Joshua Tree Oasis? Once you <a title="Check Availability" href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/rates-payment.shtml">enter</a> the magic it is there to be discovered…from window to window. Look at the outside from within and the inside from without. What do you see? Beauty undefined, both hidden and vibrantly felt like the glow of sun on your skin…and the window of your soul let free.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>OUR HEADS BEFORE JTO</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Before_JTO_122711.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-1550" title="Before_JTO_122711" src="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Before_JTO_122711-300x250.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="175" /></a></p>
<p>They decided to celebrate their one-year anniversary a whole world away from everything that even resembled traffic and madness and show-me-the-moneyness. They wanted out of it all into what they had together&#8211;arriving jambled and scrambled and desperately seeking to recapture their own <a title="Joshua Tree Oasis" href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/">Joshua Tree Oasis</a> enchanting love story. It only took moments to reclaim their lost souls—and most of all each other…</p>
<p><span id="more-1551"></span></p>
<p><strong>OUR HEADS AFTER JTO</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/After_JTO_122711.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-1548" title="After_JTO_122711" src="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/After_JTO_122711-300x276.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="193" /></a></p>
<p>If you’re wanting to clear your head (and love life) within something that is light years away from the Sunset and Vine of your life…just change your perspective and head for the <a title="Joshua Tree Oasis Photos" href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/photos.shtml">luxurious retreat</a> at the edge of the Mojave, (east) of Palm Springs.  Just waiting for you are:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Lizard.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-1558" title="Lizard" src="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Lizard-300x178.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="142" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;and so much more, including the kind of coyote musical “scores”, breathtaking desert landscapes, sunsets and sunrise sky-shows no wide-screen production can even touch. <a title="Check Availability" href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/rates-payment.shtml">Joshua Tree Oasis</a>. What a beautiful place to say “I do” all over again and again and again</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, was supposed to have said &#8220;Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu&#8217;un long discours,&#8221; or &#8220;A good sketch is better than a long speech&#8221;. In other words, “a picture is worth a thousand words…” On that note, we culled a few of our guests’ sketches that summarize Joshua Tree Oasis better than any poet or blogger or marketing specialist could ever express. With a few joyful, “AWESOME!” bursts thrown in, we couldn’t have said it better. So here, for your enjoyment are just a few of the works of art drawn by delighted <a title="Joshua Tree Photos" href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/photos.shtml" target="_blank">Joshua Tree Oasis</a> residents who have been so moved to show us their feelings in the best ways possible. We hope you too will grab a sketch pad and leave your cares behind and escape to one of the most gorgeous desert vacation retreats on the planet…</p>

<p>In summary, some beautiful technicolor words from a guest, so visual in their descriptions we had to add them… “A whole week this year! A full moon. The bobcat peering at us through the rocks. Hummingbirds, quail, roadrunners, a slithering boa (non-rattler), cotton tail Jack Rabbits, two coyotes, an amazing display of clouds, bird song, deep quiet, the sounds of silence. It’s all been perfect and renews our belief in this mad-crazy world that people abuse.</p>
<p>Thanks. It’s all right here…”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can do it. Grab your besties and pack your bags and do the thing you didn’t think you could do: Escape to the desert. Leave behind the zombies. The walking dead.

<p><a href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Moon_4.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1495" title="Moon_4" src="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Moon_4.jpeg" alt="" width="512" height="341" /></a></p>
<p>Waiting for you in a pristine desert hideaway is Nirvana. Joshua Tree Oasis—a wondrous escape of dunes and rocky outcrops, dazzling, star-packed nights and days rich with the sights and sounds and scents of fall at the Mojave’s edge. Joshua Tree Oasis—<a title="Home Features" href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/features.shtml">a vacation resort</a> that is truly unparallel.</p>
<p><span id="more-1489"></span></p>
<p>Once you enter the magic of it all <a title="Joshua Tree Oasis - Photos" href="http://www.joshuatreeoasis.com/photos.shtml">Joshua Tree Oasis Vacation Lodging</a> simply takes your breath away and leaves you howling at the moon right along with the coyotes. (Werewolves not allowed.) Mummies find this cactus-covered beauty too scary. But here in this exquisite state of luxury-meets-ecstasy something miraculous always happens. You begin to transform, evolving from wired to wow-where-have-I-been-all-my-life. And the only ghosts you might encounter are those that you hopefully leave behind in your unplugged i-pad, cell phone and closed-up computer. The trick is deciding to get here. The treat? Well come and see for yourself…</p>
