In 1999, when I first arrived to live in the US, I took the Coast Starlight from LA up to Oakland--this trip was in the reverse direction. It's a beautiful trip along the coast, with several stopsRead more

The purpose of the trip was to meet with my niece and her son, who had flown in from New Zealand. Then we'd go to all the tourist traps in Southern California. First port of call was Anaheim to visitRead more

I have never in my life wanted to go to Disneyland, but once I got there, I had a lot of fun.
First day was pretty low-key, but the Young Master got to build a radio-controlled car in the Ride MakerRead more

We spent five days in Anaheim, visiting Disneyland and the Disney California Adventure Park several times. But the real highlight was the jousting tournament we went to elsewhere in Anaheim.

We took a coach shuttle down to the Legoland Hotel in Carlsbad and had two days there in our pirate-themed room. The aquarium at Legoland was wonderful, but I guess all the Lego sculptures were prettyRead more

A shuttle took us down to San Diego, where we stayed near Mission Beach. SeaWorld was the main object of this stop, but the beach was probably the most enjoyable part of our short stay.

We took the Surfliner up to LA from San Diego, and it was a very pretty coast-hugging trip (just didn't take any photos of it!)
I had rented an AirBnB here, but it turned out to be awful. MainlyRead more

We didn't do much of anything on the last day at the apartment, just went out for a stroll and some lunch.
It had been a very whirlwind trip, especially the last part, and the heatwave didn't help.Read more
