Well Cali will still be warm in Sept. Santa Monica is alright - too may bums IMO. But if you are down in SM, be sure to check Venice - good sights to see - lol. A real show! Its almost riding season around that time as well. As far as hotels, I am not too sure - I just drive there daily...but get ready for traffic. You'll have a lot of company on the roads...tour hollyweird, la, etc...its cool to check out. I'll see what else I can drum up for ya....where u coming from?

san diego ?? looks nice , but they all do online

it really depends on what you want to do while you are here. For cultural happenings LA is the place in so cal for museums, theatres, comedy clubs, amazing food, etc. but if you want to expierence something laid back, quaint, and less crowded with more nature head north. santa barbara, wine country, ventura county are absolutely beautiful.

San Francisco is nice in the fall too.

if you want natural beauty stay away from LA beach areas, except paradise cove on up to zuma. good surfing....

for a first time trip to california here would be my list of must see places:

natural wonders:
Lake tahoe
Redwoods
Big Sur
Santa Cruz
Napa Valley

if you don't care about that and don't mind hanging in the smog and traffic come to LA for hollywood bowl, hollywood forever cemetary (outdoor movies), MOCA, LACMA, GETTY, and awesome japanese, korean, mexican, persian, etc. food.

hope this helps.

I live in San Diego, I think you would like our coastline. There are plenty of small beach towns such as La Jolla, Del Mar, and even Coronado. If relaxing is your plan, then SD is a nice place to enjoy the coast. Not to mention that some parts of the coastline aren't overly crowded like Venice beach and etc.

Why not when you get here we get BANNED from a local Pub?
In the O.C. Dinner and drinks.
Maybe after you do a day at Disneyland.
Bob probably knows a place that he's been kicked out of in the past.

Just an Idea.

I know man...............but you said "to you"(personalize) my english level is not too high so you'll understand,by the way you should learn all the languages as you can, i don't like if a russian woman tells me something and i don't find the proper words or don't understand what she said

"SOLID Bro!!" · Post by **"SOLID Bro!!"** » February 8th, 2009, 4:07 pm

You are correct, But you are trying to learn "like I would if I were living in their country" But most refuse to adapt to the Country in which they are migrating to. I'm done with this subject, I don't want to Hijack this thread with this. Anymore than I already have. I hope you understand.

xtremeslide · Post by **xtremeslide** » February 8th, 2009, 4:19 pm

Right solid .......let's see what the other hoons say about the best places to visit in California

i like this thread

south central hoon · February 8th, 2009, 6:06 pm

if you are in so cal for a week you can cover a lot of ground. just rent a car, and put in the miles.

LA to san diego non-rush hour traffic is less than 2 hours.

LA to Santa Barbara 90 min.

LA to Joshua Tree or palm springs area 90 min.

some of the fellas on this forum commute these distances to work each day.

just remember we drive on the RIGHT side of the road over here!
