Larry, I checked airnav before posting, but the reviews were not all
that helpful- conflicting and/or outdated.
"Better" in terms of cost and location. I am not entirely sure which
part of Palm Springs is worth seeing and so don't know how long the
ride would be from either airport..

I don't know either, but in the old days Palm Canyon Drive was the
center of town.

and so don't know how long the ride would be from either airport..


Bermuda Dunes isn't too far from KPSP, and services are reasonable.
There's a decent restaurant in the golf course adjacent. I usually
land there because I have a friend who lives in la Quinta.

Unless you're a golfer, I'm not sure what there is to do in PS beside
lounging in the pool. Perhaps there's some nightlife.

You might find a flight around the top of the tram interesting, and
once on the ground, you could take the tram to the top of Mt. San
Jacinto, and go for a hike in the cool, piney, mountain air. But
don't miss the Robert Pond air museum.

It's not far from Big Bear, and there's a lot of activity for tourists
there. It might be a better choice for a summer outing (cooler).
