Do Some Planning About Your Choice of Lodging When Going To See Destinations On Your Southern California Vacation
Maybe this is the time for you to look into an Amtrak vacation, especially if you have never done that sort of thing before. The national train network makes it possible to get around from most major cities. Getting there can be half the fun on some of the more scenic routes.
One of the most popular vacation destinations is San Diego. The train runs right into the middle of town, with easy local public transportation to get you to your choice of many San Diego hotels, and most of the attractions. Compared to other parts of Southern California, San Diego is in fact comparatively close together. You can find your way to a lot of the San Diego destinations by walking if you enjoy that.
What if your vacation strategy includes a search for adrenaline-pumping roller coasters? The two parks that come to mind when speaking of roller coasters are Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott’s Berry Farm The SoCal Guru notes that these two destinations have focused directly on roller coasters and thrill rides to differentiate themselves from Disneyland.
Magic Mountain is crazy with wild coasters; the place is lousy with thrill rides. If you are visiting with folks who don’t care as much about thrill rides, you’ll still find plenty to do; check out the Southern California Vacation Guru for useful ideas.
The second Southern California theme park with a strong emphasis on roller coasters is Knott’s Berry Farm, although it too offers many activities such as Ghost Town. My daughter worked on the new Silver Bullet ride and she says that is one of several coasters that will really help you lose your dinner.
The first place we think of is Disneyland, the hangout for Mickey, Donald and all their buddies. There are a few really good websites with helpful information about planning a Disneyland vacation as well as if you plan to visit any of the nearby Knott’s Berry Farm hotels. Nobody has done a better job of breathing life into fictional characters than the Disney folks.
Universal Studios up in Hollywood would be a good next stop in your vacation, where you can chill with the likes of Homer Simpson, the Flintstones and Rubbles, Betty Boop and Spiderman. Pick up some useful information and tips about Universal Studios and other southern California hotels from the SoCal Vacation Guru.
It doesn’t matter how you plan to spend your vacation, it is of great importance to find the right hotel. You will spend way more time than you expected traveling around Southern California if you goof up the selection of your hotel. And that is a waste of expensive time.
