Vacation in SoCal

Hey guys,

lookin for some help here. Im from mass and the wifey wants to take a vacation in march and i want to head out to the west coast because neither of us have never been there

im looking to surprise her with the trip for xmas, but i am trying to plan it and i have no idea where to start as i dont know anything out there

so who can give me some suggestions for a good week long trip ?

 

we are both 24

 

Disneyland, fun for kids of all ages!

 

Depending when your coming? Rose parade would be nice, Universal city walk, Hollywood, and of course a Laker game. You can drive to Las Vegas, San Diego, San Francisco.

 

San Diego would be your best bet.

 

im from boston.... go celtics


ive been talking to a few people and they have suggested to fly into san fran, spend a few days there and rent a car and drive the coastal highway down to LA and fly home out of orange county...

opinions of this ?

 

white91formula,
good plan to fly to san fran, dirve accross gg bridge to sonoma, napa wine tasting etc wile in sf, do drop by hearst castle on your way down to L.A. fly home from oc.nice ;o)

 

SAN DIEGO. You won't be disappointed. Go to vacation rentals by owner vrbo.com and search house/condo rentals on mission beach. You can fly into san diego, rent a car and travel down to mexico...or up to anaheim to disney...or to hollywood. So much to do and the weather is perfect. I have traveled a lot of places and san diego is my favorite spot!

 

lol

 

I recommend Santa Barbara, cool tours, you can scuba dive, ride bikes on the beach, windsurf, nice downtown area to shop and dine, go horseback riding for cheap, visit the mission, and there are some nice bed and breakfasts in the area if you guys are into that.

 

Hmmmm Patriot fan? Death Valley is nice at that time of the year.....j/k

 

definatley look for a beach house rental in mission beach... its a cool area right by belmont park (a littlte historic theme park) and then you have the beach and a boardwalk and a bunch of shops and good food

That could be a lot of fun but I still recommend trying to go down to San Diego, you can fly home from the airport right in Downtown SD.

 

I may be biased, but I came to San Diego on a vacation 5 years ago to see old college buddies.........after extending my vacation to 3 weeks from 1 week and interviewing for jobs I moved here 1 month later.

Yeah its that much fun!

San Diego has a ton to do for vacations; Sea World, Wild Animal Park, SD Zoo, Balboa Park (tons of Museums), Lego Land, Beach Towns, and Great food/nightlife.

 

San Diego is awesome, get a hotel in the gaslamp district. It won't cost an arm and leg like a beach house will.

 

oh yeah for sure beach houses can get pricey and if you get one in gaslamp you can be downtown an dtheres a bunch of fun stuff down there
