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.

I had already worked out where all of the key places were at Sky Harbor before I left the aircraft. My flight to Palm Springs was due to leave from Gate B12, the AA lounge was located around Gate B5 and Starbucks was located at Gate B17.

I almost always end up staying at a hotel like this on a trip out to the west coast. That's one where I arrive really late, and I am due to fly out again really early the following day.
