California: A Travel Destination For Everyone

By Jean-Pierre Prieur


California is a destination that offers couples, families and individuals many exciting activities to do. The state is filled with a variety of historic and artistic sights to visit. Amazing wonders such as the Golden Gate Bridge and the Redwood Forest in Redwood National Park will create pictures worth framing. The state also offers several world-class amusement parks including iconic Disneyland, exciting Knott's Berry Farm and thrilling Six Flags, which will delight families and individuals of all ages and sizes.

Driving towards the border you will run into San Diego where beauty is everywhere. Make sure you spend a day at the beach and walk around the unique little shops. There are over seventy miles of beaches to enjoy, and they seem to go on forever. The zoo is one of the biggest in the world, and with the mild, sunny weather, any day of the year is a perfect time to visit. Golfing, fishing and boating are all at your fingertips when you are in this region. It truly is one of California's finest cities, and the vacationing there is the best.

While in California, a must-do is a side trip to Tijuana, Mexico. Located on the Baja California Peninsula, Tijuana is the most-visited city on the West Coast. It is estimated that over 300,000 people cross the border each day in one of the two border-crossings into Tijuana. The city is snuggled between canyons, hills, and ravines. Tourists enjoy the race track, casino gambling, curio shops, thermal baths, and boxing. Tijuana is home to the beautiful Hotel Caesar's where they say the Caesar salad originated.

The city of La Jolla is only 15 minutes from the center of San Diego and guests of the city will enjoy the picturesque beaches, art galleries and aquatic museums. Restaurants will ensure diners leave satisfied while enjoying the comfortable year 'round climate.

Of course no matter where you are in Southern California, the beach is close by. The Pacific ocean in this part of the state is a great place to play in the waves, surf and enjoy tanning on the great beaches which are usually free and easy to access. Most Southern Californians love the ocean, and it is part of the local life style.

No one wants to go to Southern California and miss one of the biggest and most intriguing cities in the country. Los Angeles is everything you think of it as being. You will need a car to get around, and of course you will want to include some time in the Hollywood area also. Crazy, busy, and full of glitz and glamour are some of the things you will feel while visiting here. It is certainly a don't-miss area.

The San Diego Zoo Safari Park and the famous SeaWorld delight young and mature audiences alike. Don't forget to visit Legoland and create your own wild and wonderful creations or take a ride on the roller coaster. Although this park is set up with the younger children in mind, aren't we all children around all those Legos? In Los Angeles you can see pictures in the making, visit a television studio, learn how video games are produced, and watch recorded music come alive. Home to many movie stars, you'll never be at a loss for entertainment.

San Diego's economics depend on the military and defense-related activities, as well as visitors, international trade, and manufacturing. The University of California centers on its biotechnology research and science. Los Angeles is a city of bustling hard-working, hard-playing people. Known as L.A. or City of Angels, its population is made up of multicultural professionals of technology, media, fashion, science, and education.
