It was cold and wet 10C°. We walked to Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City, colloquially "the Met", is the largest art museum in the United States. Our New York Pass got us into skip-the-line and audio presentation. We were exhausted and can't walk another step. We took a free bus back to hotel. We had Chinese and walked downtown to Macy's on 34th St that evening.

NY to LA

We were both awake at midnight even though the shuttle to the airport was not due until 2:15 a.m. LA airport was empty. The plane was full and we could not sit together they offer $675 credit. I had to sit between two big fellows. Couldn't check in at the hotel for 3 hours, waited for bags for a long time and finally had to collect our own bags. Not feeling 100%. Met Judi the Tour Director that afternoon.

LOS ANGELES – PALM SPRINGS

Journey to the desert oasis of Palm Springs, just 120 miles east of Los Angeles. Ever since Hollywood stars first came here in the 1930s, laying claim to ranch-style estates and holing up in elite hotels, the clean, dry air and sunshine have made Palm Springs irresistible. We went to Aerial Tramway ( $23 ) 9000ft elevation with Cheryl. It was snowing and freezing. Sil down with a cold. Walked around Palm Spring and Ruby's Dinner.
