A Comprehensive Guide of Things to Do in Palm Springs

Palm Springs is absolutely one of my favourite vacation destinations! As a child, my grandparents were snowbirds (Canadians who winter in the south) so we vacationed there every year. What I love about Palm Springs is that, from Vancouver. B.C., it is a direct two hour flight to the Palm Springs airport.

As well, there are many condo resorts you can check out if you are wanting your own kitchen.

It was a hollywood hotspot back in the day, hosting such famous guests as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and even Elvis! The rooms are funkily decorated and the pool is a non-stop party with loud music from the speakers and groups

Bonus points if you made your own way there! 2. Spend a Few Months Away From Home Whether it's at a summer camp, a relative's home, a school trip or exchange, having an adventure away from your family can give you an unforgettable experience. You will be exposed to new people and situations
