Sunshine and fun is what California in USA is all about. This
Pacific Ocean bathed state was one of the last to be
incorporated into the union, but soon became one of the first
on the list for travel and holiday entertainment. It shone
bright with so many stars when Hollywood opened its gates. And
talking about gates, was known for its innovative methods in
construction when it built the Golden Gate Bridge. And it was
Walt Disney's choice when he decided to build the happiest
place on earth, creating Disneyland. It is easy to travel up
and down the whhhole Califonia coastline with a fantastic car
rental from any of the airport locations, visiting museums,
natural parks and other theme parks, making your California
dream come true.

Los Angeles Radiates with Excitement

Los Angeles, LA or as some call it ' The City of Angels' is
saturated with all kinds of entertainment. What firstly calls
the visitors attention is anything that has to do with
Hollywood and its stars. The first stop is usually Hollywood
Boulevard to the Walk of fame where you can see whose hand and
footprints have a likeness to yours while visiting the Kodak
Theatre, famous for the Oscar celebrations. And if your are
lucky, you might share a fitting room with someone famous as
you go shopping on Rodeo Drive in the Beverly Hills
neighbourhood, at Santa Monica Square or on Hollywood Drive.
From Muholland Drive you can click away at the famous
'Hollywood' sign which is a symbol known to everyone all over
the world. All this excitement and its has not even cost you a
penny!

Not too far outside of LA, in Anaheim, you can find the
'Happiest Place on Earth' which everyone knows is Disneyland. I
went there thinking that I would be trailing around after my
children while they lived the dream of their lives, but I can
assure you that I was more thrilled and enthused than my kids.
I relived childhood adventures that I thought had long passed
with my buddies Mickey and Minnie and shared new ones with my
family. The price of $86 for adults and $76 for kids over 9
years of age with transport from our hotel was well worth it. I
have been told that Disney world is better, but only seeing is
believing. Many friends of mine have even opted for buying
apartments in the Los Angeles area so that when they spend
their holidays there, they do not have to worry about lodgings.
One dream spot is in the Palisades, a small town residential
area not far from Sunset Boulevard and only a stone's throw
from the impressive three mile run cliffs that stop the Pacific
from entering.

Crossing California to San Francisco

But if you really want to get a good grip on California, then
let's go down to the Pacific Ocean and over to the Golden Gate
Bridge in San Francisco. One thing is to stand at a distance
and admire its greatness but the best is to be part of it.
There are bike ride tours over the bridge which first take you
along the Bay Trail past various interesting points and then
over the 1.7 mile long bridge. But San Francisco woud not be
complete without a visit to the Island of Alcatraz and its
piercing prison and museum filled with tingling history.
Everything about California makes you tingle!
