Los Angeles Travel Guide

Enjoy a Spring Vacation at Disneyland

Cristina — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:07:02 +0000

Most of those living in colder regions are already sick and tired of the long and cold winter we had to deal with. And I can probably speak for all of us who don’t like cold, that a vacation – no matter how long or short – to a warmer place is exactly what’s in [...]

Make LA Your Gateway to Australia

Katie — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:08:46 +0000

At 14 hours or so, the flight from Los Angeles to Australia isn’t exactly short. But LA is the closest US gateway to the land “down under”, which makes it the most popular jumping-off point for anyone traveling from the States to Australia. Most cheap flights to Australia depart from Los Angeles as well so if [...]

Get Out of LA for Some Horse Racing, Kentucky-Style

Jessica — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 03:00:06 +0000

Los Angeles has lots going for it when it comes to being a top travel destination or even a place to live (efficient public transportation aside). The weather’s unbeatable, the shopping is superb, the beach is right there, and there’s always plenty to do. Unless, of course, you’re a huge horse racing fan. In that [...]

Romantic Valentine’s Getaway: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Cristina — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:51:38 +0000

Valentine’s Day is just three weeks away and we can guarantee that many of you haven’t planned yet anything. No, of course we are not blaming anyone. We are just offering some ideas for those who don’t know what to do and those who want something different than the typical dinner, movie and special night [...]

Valentine’s Day Getaway in Los Angeles

Cristina — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:54:34 +0000

Los Angeles is one of the most diverse cities in the entire United States. The center of the entertainment industry, the City of Angels is also a major fashion hub and shopping center. It might feel a bit unusual to recommend Los Angeles for a romantic getaway. But, we do need to realize that each [...]

Visiting Anaheim is worthwhile, but it can be tricky

Roger — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 02:04:44 +0000

As someone who grew up only a few miles from Disneyland, it’s not always easy to put myself in the shoes of someone who’s coming to visit the place for the very first time. I probably visited the park about 20 times over about 10 years, so it sometimes feels like my backyard. Coming to [...]

It’s now as cheap to go to Las Vegas as it is to stay home

Roger — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:45:02 +0000

Lately we’ve been discussing various side trips that people often make in conjunction with a trip to Los Angeles, and things over in Las Vegas continue to get weirder so now it’s even harder to pass up. The first 3 weeks in Sin City are always the least crowded of the whole year and of [...]

San Diego is a worthwhile alternative to Los Angeles

Roger — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:00:20 +0000

This site focuses on Los Angeles and one day we might start one specifically for San Diego, but for now we’ll discuss a bit about San Diego right here. That city near the Mexico border tends to be forgotten by most Angelenos, so it’s easy to forget that for many people it’s actually a more [...]

Getting from Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon

Roger — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 23:41:55 +0000

As two of the certain must-visit places in the US, Los Angeles and the Grand Canyon are easily combined in one trip, but getting from one to the other isn’t quite as straightforward as you might expect. There is a small airport at the Grand Canyon, but there aren’t scheduled flights from major airlines, so [...]

Getting from Los Angeles to popular tourist cities explained

Roger — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:34:36 +0000

As someone who grew up in Los Angeles, it’s easy to forget just how complicated the transportation city can be. When I am planning a trip to another city for the first time I have been known to spend a lot of time researching exactly the best way of getting from one place to another, [...]
