It’s the land of Hollywood and Disney™, Rodeo Drive and Dodger Stadium. Yet there’s so much more for an enterprising traveler to explore. Start with breakfast at Clifton’s Landmark, a true L.A. icon. Stroll Melrose Place, snapping pics of the vintage neon. In the afternoon, grab a drink at one of Chinatown’s hidden speakeasies. Then take in the twinkling fairy lights at the L.A. Arboretum. Every day is a new opportunity to wander and discover.

Orange County carves its own niche with a unique blend of family-friendly attractions, laid-back beach vibes, and a dash of upscale coastal living.

Santa Barbara

Of course, you’ll enjoy relaxing on the sugary sand beaches of Santa Barbara. But leave time to admire the colorful character of the Spanish colonial architecture, the red tile roofs, and the balconies draped in bougainvillea. Browse the art galleries on State Street or raise a toast at one of the many world-class wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley. Savor the glass just a little longer. Soak in the moment.
