luckily my bouts of rage only last about an hour, and then they disappear into the ether.

it really depends on what sort of things you want to do, and what your time frame is. california is so vast and diverse.
i haven't spent a lot of time there (most of the times i've been were for the rowing championships in sacramento- not exactly a vacation, nor a hip destination), but i did enjoy both san diego and san fancisco, though they have very different feelings to them. i've been to disneyland, and i'd agree with kristen (my name is kristin! hehe) that it's far too expensive and overrated, unless you are really into disney. i enjoyed it, but then i was 10 when i went.

there's vineyards all over, napa and sonoma valleys being the most famous, obviously. there is supposed to be a fabulous wine train that you can ride through the countryside while dining sumptuously and drinking local wines. of course it's pricey, but worth every penny, according to my friend who went on it. depends on your level of skin-flintyness, i suppose. i probably am too cheap

cali towns

[simply_rose]

no question about it:

Big Sur is a must. As is San Fran.
I lived in Monterey, which is a nice little town, about two hours from san fran... if you do visit monterey, you can pretty much visit all the surrounding towns of Carmel and Pacific Grove and Cannery Row.

But I cannot stress enough that Big Sur is absolutely breathtaking and a must-visit-before-you-die place...

Stay the fuck out of LA. it sucks, indeed...

give me a call if you want...i'm not in cali right now, i'm in florida, but i can tell you to visit Micah. hahaha.

I said I'll comment...

Lucky you going to Cali!

You crack me up too! *hugs* *also laughs at her own jokes* So much so the fam has given up asking me why I'm laughing after I was silent seconds before...

hahaha didn't you see my job post?? it was a big hit :D

Now I am torn, because on the one hand I am all "Come to San Diego and stay on my futon" but on the other hand, I really think San Francisco is a billion times cooler than SD.

Although it really depends. If you want to do really beachy things all the time, SD is the place to do it. San Francisco is sort of California's token east-coast style city. You can get around on public transit, and it's all cute and little and has lots of awesome stuff to do. (And the record stores up there are AMAZING.)

Also, if you came to SD you could pop down to Mexico for a day or two.

Never thought of it as east-coast style [since it is always being called International], but that works...except that there are many hills, which make for great views. ;P
