Palm Desert Arrival
Sunday, November 10, 2013
Palm Desert, California, United States
We woke up at 5:00 and left for YVR in the dark for a 08:40 departure. Nice flight on West Jet with a friendly crew, good coffee and cookie and arrived in Palm Springs around 11:15. Had to stand in line for the rental car at Budget but finally drove off in a Ford Escape....olive green and with Illinois plates. Went for a late breakfast at Sherman's Deli in PS and had a salad and a Corned beef sandwich.. Drove to El Paseo after stopping for some wine and snacks and checked in at the Marriott Residence Inn on Cook and Frank Sinatra. Had a room overlooking the hot tub and pool....it's a Studio suite with kitchen and sitting room.. Bit noisy though around the pool. Then off we went to the Rivers in Rancho Mirage and ended up at the Yard House Bar for a couple of beers.. They are famous for the number of beer on draft and sure enough we both had a Paulaner Hefeweizen and Nachos and watched the Canucks lose to The LA Kings we drowned our sorrows in the hot tub and pool when we got back to the hotel. The temp today was 27 C but is supposed to be warmer tomorrow.
