Los Angeles

Everything you could possibly want to do is in LA. Walking on the boardwalk in Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier are both a lot of fun, the Le Brea tar pits are well worth seeing, the Griffith Park Observatory is a great place to visit, and anything else you could possibly think of to do is here.

San Francisco

The best US city to visit by far. Clean ocean swept air with warm afternoons. Multiple Michelin Star restaurants along with mid to smaller size priced cafes. Wonderful shrubbery lined trails through the SF Park, Presidio grounds and Golden Gate rec areas. The De young and many others top notch museums to enjoy. Easy Buss, Cable Car and Waymo transportation choices through-out. I live 45 min. S. in Silicon Valley with the best weather in the world, plus no bugs. (if U can afford it)

Anaheim

Disneyland was great but the walk to get there I was hurrassed by the homeless people asking questions and generally it was frightening. I am an older woman of 60 and frankly it scarred me to have to walk even across the street to get there. I will choose a different Disney location next time I go on a Disney Vacation. California clearly has issues with how to take care of its homeless population. I saw human fecies on the ground next to the side walk coming into the Disneyland location and several homeless called out to people walking past. Disney needs security out side its park for three blocks in every direction and to have them start work at 6 AM as well as a crew to clean up human waist around the area for us to not see this terrible issue least an hour before their security opens would be the best way for us to not be effected by this issue.

Santa Barbara

We love Santa Barbara; the beaches, the restaurants and the genteel atmosphere of the city itself. It is very scenic and there are plenty of things to keep your interest. We had dinner at the Boathouse at Hendry's Beach (one of our favorite eating places) Right on the beach with the ocean just steps from your table it really brings that SoCal vibe right to you. The Botanical Gardens are another favorite and usually is the reason for a visit.

Inglewood

Although this area is next to an airport; it is not what I thought it would be. The whole area looked vintage, including the road, most places closed up early like before 9 PM, even to food places, if your flight came in late and you need something to eat, I don't think you can get anything around that area.

Fresno

Lots of sunshine and temperatures that allow for swimming several months of the year. The city can be hot during months of June through October, so pack accordingly. The Zoo is a great atrraction and the close travel times to Yosemite and the Sequoia National Parks make Fresno an attractive stay while visiting these parks. Multiple casinos are also within minutes for those interested.
