California Vacations, Tourism and California Travel Reviews

By Jean Pierre Prieur


California is not only a place where lovers of any age can come for a romantic getaway, there are several different areas in the state that have luxury vacation hotels. Often the prices are very competitive, so money does not have to be an issue to enjoy some of the gorgeous, romantic areas of the state. In most places, weather will not be a big issue, so vacationing any time of year in this unique state is always a possibility.

A relaxing place to visit in San Diego is the Beach Bar. At the Beach Bar, you and your special love enjoy the open air of a roof top setting in the comfort of the Pacific coast breeze. Wiggle your toes in the sand while warming yourself at the fire pit. The cocktails are substantial and will put you in the mood for great memory making. You can place yourselves in one of the cabanas, which will add to the ambience of your evening's pleasure. San Diego's beaches are wonderful places to view and admire the slipping sun into the Pacific Ocean with all the brilliance of red, orange, and purple against the lapping rhythm of the waves. There are many wonderful hotels in San Diego. The two of you can find rooms with goose down-topped beds and marble bathrooms with oversized tubs for a bubbly, soothing bath. Many places can be visited and experienced in San Diego, such as the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, or Balboa Park. Your time spent in San Diego will be an adventure you and your loved one will remember for a long time to come.

Picture yourself and that special someone riding along in a convertible on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. While winding around the road in the Santa Monica Mountains, you two can stop at one of the scenic roadside look-outs and view the sights of Los Angeles from aloft. The memories the two of you share will warm the heart for a life time. At Long Beach, along the shores of San Pedro Bay, you can take a cruise in a Gondola. Explore each other's thoughts as you sail down the canals of Naples. You two can dine at a romantic Japanese Sushi Bar and enjoy fine crafted cocktails or a glass of exquisite Rice Wine. Spend your nights right on the sand in Santa Monica hotel. Swim in the roof top pools or relax in the Hot tub. Hotels in Los Angeles have plenty to offer and are very accommodating.

Santa Barbara is one of California's best kept secrets. This beautiful area is truly a couples vacation spot. There are so many interesting places to explore and the California coast takes on a different look in this part of the state. Beautiful cliffs and gorgeous walking paths overlook the ocean and provide a wonderful way to spend some special time together without all the hustle and busyness of big city life. This is a city made for couples.

There are some wonderful hotels in San Francisco that can place the both of you in the center of it all. Imagine the trolleys coming right to the front door. From there, you two will be close to the Fisherman's Wharf and Golden Gate Park. You two could easily visit Chinatown or the Moscone Center. The Golden Gate Park has beautiful gardens and museums. The California Academy of Science can be found there, or you two can spend your time roaming around in the atmosphere of a Japanese Tea Garden. There is plenty to do and see in San Francisco and it is a city with romantic history.

For a taste of high-style desert living, Palm Springs is its own wonderland: a place where the rich and famous congregate in the desert air to golf, dine and otherwise enjoy the beauty of this magnificent landscape. Check into the timeless Hotel California, from where you can explore the desert scenery, find a favorite artist in the area, or just crash poolside in the dry desert air. It's marvelous. It's California.

What do people say about theses exciting romantic spots in California? Here are a few words that I have read about their thoughts on past adventures in this state. Balboa Park in San Diego: "This place is awesome. I had always heard of Balboa Park, but never had any idea that it was combination great outdoor park, Smithsonian quality museums, and the world's best zoo." A word about the Santa Barbara Zoo: "This is such a lovely zoo! Nice animals in clean surroundings, lovely native plants, and several baby animals...even a baby giraffe...and you can picnic on the premises if you wish." Mulholland Drive, "What's there to say? The drive says it all in every physical, mental, emotional, visual way...breathtaking views and the scenic route just makes you feel like you're on a different level of joy and happiness..." In San Francisco at the Golden Gate Park: "This will be on the list of places for a return trip to SF. You could spend days here and not see everything. We particularly liked the view from top of Strawberry Hill - ." The Palm Springs Art Museum: "Palm Springs should be proud to have such a diverse art museum. Every individual should find something of interest. PS: love the two old people on the bench!" Wherever you take your sweetheart can become an exceptional time. Romance can happen anywhere you let it, so don't ever let it go. That's what a romance is: enjoying life together.
