Lake Tahoe is America’s premier lake resort, and the largest alpine lake in North America. It is also a year-round playground with Las Vegas-style casinos with big-name entertainment, upscale shops, boutiques and galleries, lakeside condominiums and hotels, scores of good restaurants, open-air Shakespeare performances, antique boat shows, lake cruises, and more than 20 ski resorts, the largest such concentration of ski areas in the country.
LA is the city of angels. It is a city of dreams, a city of stars, a city of make-believe, a city of hype, a city of movies and entertainment, a city of freeways, cars and spaghetti junctions, and of cross cultures and mixed races. It is the ultimate melting pot. It is the big enchilada. It is all of the things you've heard and seen on TV, radio and the movies.
The Monterey Peninsula is one of California’s loveliest and most historic regions, located along the north Central Coast of California, at the southern end of Monterey Bay. It encompasses thousands of acres of unspoiled coastal wilderness, including a couple of stunning nature preserves with sea lion colonies and shorebird habitats, as well as white-sand beaches and craggy cliffs, cypress forests and oceanfront greens and fairways.
The Napa Valley is world-famous. It is one of the premier wine growing regions of the world, rivaling the likes of Bordeaux, France, if not in size, certainly in stature and notoriety. It is also practically synonymous with California wine, and with good reason. It has the greatest concentration of wineries in the US, with more than 300 of them packed into an area of just over 100 square miles, including some of the California’s oldest and grandest wine estates.
San Diego is the quintessential Southern California city, situated on the coast some 125 miles south of Los Angeles, virtually on the border with Mexico. It has reliably good weather with blue skies and sunshine, and over 70 miles of coastline characterized by sandy beaches and promising surf. This is also California’s third largest city and the southernmost of the state’s principal communities.
