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.

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.

I decided to go Flight Connections route for a change. It seemed to cause a stir as the staff didn't really know what they were looking for on my boarding pass and were getting confused between domestic connections and international connections.

It's all been relatively straightforward for this trip. I originally booked this trip back in June, on the basis that I was almost guaranteed to see an AA flight change sufficient to allow me to better manage my time on this trip.
