Do Some Planning About Your Choice of Lodging When Going To See Destinations On Your Southern California Vacation
Author: Hazel
Maybe this is the time for you to look into an Amtrak vacation, especially if it is not something you’ve done 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.
Of all the many great vacation destinations accessible by train, San Diego must be near the top of the list. It’s very simple to take AMTRAK to the historic train depot near downtown and then use public transit for getting around locally; you can even take the train up north to several Legoland hotels. Compared to areas within SoCal, San Diego is actually relatively close together. You can find your way to a lot of the San Diego destinations by walking if you enjoy that.
What if your planning includes a search to find stomach-churning roller coasters? Here we’re speaking of Knott’s Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain (aka Magic Mountain to the locals). As a means to compete more effectively with the Disneyland Resort, one Southern California vacation writer notes that these two theme parks have invested a tremendous amount of cash in developing their thrill rides over the years.
Magic Mountain is crazy with wild coasters; the place is lousy with thrill rides. Of course some in your group may not be roller coaster fanatics, and there are many other rides and activities to be enjoyed, as you can learn at the SoCal Guru website.
Knott’s Berry Farm also has really focused on thrill rides, although they offer Camp Snoopy, Ghost Town and many other fun attractions and themed areas within the park. 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.
Of course Disneyland is the first park that comes to mind, with Dumbo, Mickey, Goofy and the others. For great local insight and tips for planning a Disneyland vacation, the SoCal Vacation Guru is the site for you, with great insight into 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. Your visit to Universal Studios Hollywood will go a little smoother if you first pick up some tips and advice about southern California hotels.
Whatever your primary vacation objective may be, it is important to be smart about where you stay. If you are not a little bit careful, a major part of your vacation will be spent on the freeway driving to your destinations. That would be valuable time to waste since you only have so long for your vacation.
