Catalina Island: SoCal's Backyard Getaway

Last weekend, my husband, Scott, and I, decided we needed a little island vacation. Lucky for us, all we had to do was hop on a boat. In less than two hours we were walking along the pristine shore and through the idyllic shop and cottage-lined streets of Catalina Island. Catalina Island is a small island, 22 miles long and 8 miles wide, off the coast of Los Angeles. For decades, it has been the…

A Perfect Night Out in San Diego

My GF and I had recently enjoyed an afternoon site-seeing tour with Hornblower Cruises & Events so much that we decided to try one of their…

Definitely need to figure on a fabulous lunch close by at SeaPort…
