on I-10 freeway to Palm Springs

A trip back to Palm Springs in 2006. Interstate freeway 10 is like an old friend of mine on the section from Los Angeles to Palm Springs. The windmills told that it will be another 20 minutes to reach Palm Springs and turn into highway 111 to Palm Canyon Drive.

Yes Palm Spring is relaxing and peaceful. It is like Phuket Island without the water. I like the cloud, the sky and the overall "laid back" atmosphere and friendly people there. This is the closest "get away" destiantion from Pasadena. Palm Desert Marriott was my son's favorite hotel (when he was small) as there is boat bring you to all the restaurants inside the hotel. And they have Kristy Donut on the premises. We went to Palm Spring a lot before 2005. (Oh the outlet too.)

The factory outlet in Cabazon (on I-10 before hitting highway 111 into Palm Springs) was not that big when I first visited in 1994. That was the first time I bought the Armani Exchange clothes from there.

Yes, the Marriott Palm Desert is pretty interesting, like an oasis in the dessert. There are lots of good restaurants in Palm Springs. I recall there is a nice Thai restaurant on Palm Canyon Drive before Hyatt Regency. They have some very nice peanut salad!

Now this factory is very big. This is the biggest outlet in Southern California and Vegas(within 100-mile radius from my area).
