Its easy to think, "yeah, we'll just drive across the state to see ____" but California is one big ass state. To put it in perspective you probably wouldn't spend half of a vacation in Virginia and the other half in Florida. Mom has extra time share points so she's hooking us up. Unfortunately the timeshare doesn't have much in the San Fran area. So given a choice for your first trip to Cali, what's your vote? Ballot is below: Windsor (closest choice we have to San Francisco, but still an hour away) Ventura Anaheim (too close to Disney, so we'd probably not choose this) Costa Mesa Oceanside San Diego Palm Springs Or we could also split time in 2 of those cities (except Windsor, we'd probably stay the whole time there). It sounds like no matter where we go there will still be plenty of things to do. This post has been edited by StanIROCZ: Mar 7 2009, 06:52 PM

The wife and I have 2 passes for free round trip airline tickets to anywhere in the continental US and we thought CA might be a fun place to go since neither of us have been there before. Where should we go and what are the best attractions? Suggestions? We're thinking early July for about a week.
