Starbucks was very relaxing, and I needed the caffeine to top-up and breakfast. The staff were friendly, which was a bonus.

Normally, I try to minimize the distance from the place I spend the last night away to the airport I am due to fly from. It just minimizes the risk of anything going wrong! That's my natural risk-averse approach to travel.

A little bit of a disappointing day today. Had quite a few things planned, but almost none of them actually came off!

I managed a decent sleep overnight. First sleep started around 5pm and lasted until about 10pm. I then up for a few hours and then grabbed 3 extra hours, finally waking at just before 4am.

The Palm Springs Air Museum is number 3 out of over 100 of the top tourist attractions in Palm Springs. I decided to have a quick look around and see why it was so highly regarded.

Palm Springs international airport was really busy - it's a popular place to visit. It's set up a little like an island tourist airport.
