Southern California

By: Frank Druer

There's no place quite like California. Imagine it - a beautiful place filled with beautiful people. Southern California is the land of sun and surf. Southern California does have a winter season, with slightly cooler temperatures, but even then the weather is wonderful year round. Plus, California has the advantage of not having hurricane season - there won't be any storms to interfere with vacation plans. There is something for every member of the family to be found in Southern California.

Of course Disneyland is the most popular destination for both kids and adults. It resides in Anaheim and you don't want to miss it if you're anywhere near. In fact there is so much to see and do that you want to allow as many days as possible. Many of the hotels are within walking distance. This will make it easy for you to take a break from the rides and go back to your hotel for a swim and maybe a short nap. During peak seasons, Disneyland is packed. If you are visiting during one of these times be prepared for long lines, both to get into the park and to experience the rides. There are rides for adults and children alike. If you have children, be sure to take pictures of them with the Disneyland characters. They wander the park daily and interact with visitors.

If Disneyland's rides aren't wild enough for you, try Six Flags Magic Mountain in Los Angeles. This mega-amusement park emphasizes rides guaranteed to get your adrenaline flowing and raise your heart rate. Six Flags Magic Mountain offers a huge variety of some of the most thrilling rides and roller coasters in North America. Six Flags Magic Mountain's claim to fame is some of the fastest, highest, and most innovative coasters around. Just like Disneyland, peak tourist season brings lots of visitors to Six Flags, so be prepared to stand in lines and go early.

No trip to Southern California would be complete without a visit to the beach. Even in hot weather, there is a cool breeze floating in off the oceans. Sometimes this balmy breeze can be a little deceptive - the sun is still very intense and it's not uncommon for tourists to suffer from terrible sun burns. Always wear sun block for protection. The most beautiful beaches are in Malibu and Santa Monica. Santa Monica is an incredible place to pass some time. Pacific Palisades Park offers visitors a beautiful view of trees and cliffs overlooking the ocean. If you'd prefer to shop, head up to the Promenade for some high-end and funky shopping. California beaches are usually clean and well- kept. Parking is hard to come by, so sure to head there early.

Southern California is the vacation of a life-time for the whole family - with sun, fun, and play all within an easy to reach area. You'll find lots to do, so make sure you have enough time to enough time for all the attractions.
