From Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) we took a “limousine” to Palm Springs, a small resort town about two hours east of LA. Now, a limousine may sound luxurious, but it was actually just a chauffeur-driven minivan. This was our second time to travel this way and I recommend it for getting out of the city. One, you don’t need to contend with the heavy L.A. traffic, and, two, you can sleep like my family did all the way from the airport to our destination.
The limousine service we use is called Xpress Shuttles. Although a bit pricey, it provides peace of mind when you are exhausted from a long flight like we were.
The thing that surprised me the most during that two-hour-long drive was how green California was. Thanks to record-breaking rains and snowfall this winter, the hills and mountains were greener than I had ever seen them. As the weather started to warm up, these same hills and mountains exploded with color as wildflowers started blooming.
