California Reviews

Sonoma, situated about an hours drive north from San Francisco, over the Golden Gate Bridge, is a beautiful wine county. It's location just outside one of America's most cosmetically pleasing and bustling cities, provides an equally rewarding getaway. The only problem with Sonoma is condensing all it's best parts for a succinct review! ...

California - Advantages: Alot of attractions, Great climate, Nice people - Disadvantages: Alot of pollution, A long flight

The US west coast is truly an amazing place and it is definitely worth a visit. I spent December travelling from Las Vegas, Nevada, up to San Francisco, California and I have never had a better time in all my life. Check out my review for info on some of the best places I visited. I flew from Heathrow to Los Angeles on what was about an ...

In Oct 2001 we travelled to the USA in the wake of the atrocities of Sept 11th for one of the most fantastic holidays we have ever had. We flew direct to San Francisco from Heathrow (only 11 hours). SF is a great place, very busy around Union Square which is full of shops etc. We stayed at the Handlery which is in Union Square (very central and ...

I went to California last summer in July to stay with my bro. He’s lived there for some time now, he told me all the great place to go. The plane trip is a long and tiersume one but much rewarded one. First I went to magic mountain, really good but cues can be really big. But when on the rides really good. I recommend the superman ride! ...

Im going to tour the WEst Coast of USA in June. Sounds ambitious but I intend to do it. Im flying out to San Fransisco first. In Sanfransisco there are quite a few things ...

Temecula Valley wine region, conveniently placed between Los Angeles and San Diego , is well worth a day of anyone's time. It is hard to think of a wine region that is easier to get around. The vineyards spread either side of the road along the valley floor and wineries neighbor each other like plots on a suburban estate. Getting ...

Death Valleys one hot place, where it is hard to even breathe when standing in the schorching heat! Remember to wear sun cream and take lots of bottles of water, which unfortunately will most probably be hot as soon as the air conditioning is swithced off in the car! The sites of the sand dunes are amazing. Then we went to badwater, which is the ...

Carmel (Clint Eastwood was once Mayor here)is a village of narrow streets and very pretty houses. It is a place to walk and wander around the numerous boutiques, craft shops, and art galleries. Plenty of restaurants and gourmet food shops. Make up a picnic and go to the beach and relax or head out to 17 mile drive for some spectacular ...
