Tell me about California...

You really are in the center of things being in Anaheim. You can go up to LA where there are great attractions, parks, museums, and just cities like Pasadena and Sierra Madre to explore. There are the beach communities, Big Bear and Wrightwood which are all great fun to check out. Then there is San Diego county and the wine country of Temecula. Unfortunately, public transportation is lacking. There is bus service, amtrack and the trolley in San Diego but it isn't very convenient yet to all points. October is a mixed bag. Sometimes it stays cool and cloudy and other years the Santa Ana's blow through and we get triple digit temperatures. There are so many must-sees that they are hard to list: Universal Studios, Griffith Observatory, Angeles Crest Highway, Huntington Gardens, Quail Botanical Gardens, Natural History Museum complex, Olivera Street, San Diego Zoo & Wild Animal Park, Seaport Village and the embarcadero, Old Town San Diego, Balboa Park, Malibu Beach, Hotel Del Coranado, Sea World, the Rose Parade...just to name a few
