palm springs and salton sea

Wednesday 5th November 2014
Today was just a quite day with a bit of shopping first at the Fashion Show Mall.  Then a 4 hour drive to Palm Springs.  The drive was nice but the roads were quite busy once we got close to LA.  Arrived at The Curve where we were staying and then went to Denny's for dinner.  Tomorrow is the last day and we have to have the car back to Hertz by around 5.30 p.m.  But first we will do a side track to the Salton Sea for a look.

Today's first adventure was to fit everything inside our bags.  We have bought lots of goodies and its going to be a struggle!  It all fit but only just.
Got some late breakfast from Subway and then drove an hour to the Satlon Sea.  It was really very beautiful and the days was just georgous.  One of the hotest days we had since the first few days.  It was 30 degrees celcius and perfect.
After a trip to Bombay Beach we had to hit the road to get to the airport on time.  It was just under 200 miles but we had about 4 hours to do it.  Got to Hertz gave back the Nissan and got the bus to the terminal.  Once our luggage was cheked we had about 2 hours in the lounge.  That was a fancy lounge with great food.
Skip ahead 15 hours and I'm now sitting in Sydney Virgin Australia Lounge and it's now Saturday!!  The trip is all but over.
Back to work Monday morning.......
