the same to you for the last couple of winters why not go west like horace greeley suggested more than 84 million people travel to southern california each year to see the sights of disneyland hollywood or the high sierra mountain range with some of the finest skiing in the united states plus long days filled with sunshine pioneer villages and palacial estates like william randolph hearsts san simeon give the vacationer a wide range to choose from with the pacific ocean itself within easy driving distance los angeles is usually the starting point for visitors and boasts a brand new downtown with a breathtaking entertainment complex and many fine restaurants featuring great foods that belie kiplings statement that east and west would never meet tours through universal studios are scheduled daily to show visitors the world of the motion picture and in burbank tours show what televisionland is all about newport and laguna beach are the seaside resort cities of southern california with a lion country safari for families and the san diego wild animal park less than 30 miles away of course this city is famous for its zoo and has a busy navy port and superb golf courses as well another thought to keep in mind if you travel this far south is that san diego is only 30 minutes away from mexico where dutyfree shopping can be enjoyed in tijuana if you do decide to travel a bit to the west when youre going south this winter be sure to arrange for a car when you get there the reason is that there are simply no public transportation systems within the sprawling country of 46 incorporated cities nor is there any reliable transit system within los angeles itself car rental agencies and airlines offer flydrive packages and if you want to transport your family at your own pace to the zoo disneyland and the queen mary it might be a good idea to investigate this type of deal but for those who dont want to fight the freeway traffic of los angeles a gray line motorcoach tour may be the answer the gray line offers a variety of sightseeing packages throughout the city anaheim san diego and palm springs with excursions available from los angeles to santa barbara and from los angeles to san diego this type of travel has become popular recently and canadians are said to be fast becoming the number one tourists of the area this is thought to be because there is no language barrier very little cultural shock and yet canadians still get a respite from their northern winters m
