Yesterday we spent a whole day shopping, yes a whole day!
Helen hit the Desert Hills outlet mall, a short drive from where we're staying. It's just off Interstate 10, quite literally in the middle of what is otherwise desert. This place is huge and actually did consume an entire day of looking at clothes and handbags. Helen's in her element here, me not so much.
For the evening we drove about 20 minutes in the other direction to a Best Buy, it's the best Best Buy I've ever visited, a large and well stocked store. I purchased some nice headphones there.
Palm Springs and the surrounding cities continue to treat us well with a relaxed pace and today a little cooler with a gentle breeze blowing.
Our trip is now coming to an end. Our wallets are almost empty apart from badly bruised credit cards. Our baggage is full. In fact Helen bought a hand-held baggage scale to check how we're tracking. Ironically this adds 0.5kg to the payload. Maybe I should use it to see if the laptop has become heavier with all the trip photos on it? :-)
Today we drive back to LAX, to drop the rental car off and make our way to the airport for a late flight. Next stop after that is Auckland and from there back to reality.
