This Itinerary is for a trip down the Pacific Coast of Southern California and see what California Love is all about.
You will fly into Los Angeles International Airport, LAX.
You will engage yourself in a completely immersive local and tour led itinerary. Lucky for you this is your travel agent's stomping ground for about 35 years, and I am so happy to present this trip.
Once you fly in, You will rent a vehicle, and you will drive during this 5-7 day long stay, from Los Angeles to San Diego with a stop into Sea World for a special treat. This trip will be a fully immersive southern california tour experience; self propelled, but with complete guidance on where to go, how to get there, what to expect, who to mingle with (some local contacts for different types of activities offered through the local community residents as well as high end tour companies, just depends on what you want to do.) In Southern California the sky is really the limit, this trip can be turned into a foodie and brews tour, a central valley napa wine tour, anything really can be created by Journeybug Travel. This trip is one which was custom curiated for a client of mine, who has never been on this type of explorative adventurous vacation in a new place. This will be a little bit of everything all rolled into one including food and restaurant reservation recommendations, tours, museums, cultural areas - such as Old Town in San Diego & taking the Coronado Bridge over the water to have dinner at Hotel Del Coronado, one of the oldest hotels in San Diego, with a beautiful spanish style and a fantastic menu.
In so Cal there are several places where you won't want to be absent from the boardwalk, Santa Monica (for shopping immersing in the culture, seeing the pier and finding a nice personalized momento, like a caricature that can be created to order by pier artists or nifty needless cool treasures to take home. Venice Beach, one of the best places to people watch, Muscle Beach is in Venice and the boardwalk is lined with people selling things and doing sometimes odd perfomances, or making art, crafts and street performers of all kinds. The pitbull with the chain, the bulldog on the skateboard- they can be found in Venice Beach if your timing is right. But make sure you pay for parking ahead of time! Malibu is a vast beach surrounded by trees and bushes and mansions that are unaccessible to the public.
