Island Romance
Have you ever been on an island over night? A great one is Catalina. There's many things to do and see on the island plus getting there is half the fun. There is a golf course, island tours, glass bottom boats, flying fish boat trips and much more. Lots of hotels and motels dot the island, you can find anything you want on the island by going to www.catalina.com
If you take your towel and sun screen and go to the beach area, you will feel like you're a million miles away from home. It's like sitting on the beach in Monte Carlo or Jamaica. The water is so clear and the air is so clean you will want to live there. You can travel anywhere in the world and you can't find a better place for the price.
Bed and Breakfast
 |
There are many Bed & Breakfast's in Southern California, some of the great places for Bed & Breakfast's are close to the beach or the mountains. It's a good thing to find out if the inn you select has private baths. A lot of the older ones do not as they are a home and they usually have one bath per floor. You can find Bed & Breakfast's in most cities. Some, give you a complete breakfast with a type of food that complements the area they are in. Like biscuits and gravy in the mountains and country while having every thing from cereal to omelets closer to big cities and the ocean. Check out the one in La Jolla. It is really nice. http://www.californiabedbreakfastinns.com

Ride the Palm Springs Tram to the top of the Valley!
 |
Palm Springs and the local area..
Ride the Palm Springs Tram two and a half miles up in the worlds largest rotating gondola up to great views, no, make that monumental views. There are two restaurants at the top of the tram. One is a café with great food and the other is a dining experience. You can sit by a window looking over the Coachella Valley. Sometimes the air is so clear you can see past Salton Sea. That's over fifty miles. You might need to make reservations at the restaurant. They claim that the temperature runs about 30 degrees cooler on the top of the mountain so in the summer when it's in the high 90's on the desert floor the top of the mountain runs around 60 or so.
North Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111), north of Racquet Club Road, west to Tramway Road, Palm Springs, California, 92262. For more information, the Palm Springs Tram phone is: (760)325-1449. For Palm Springs Tram Restaurants, phone: 760-327-1592.
