Blog Post #9 "California"

Taking it back to the states this week, the next destination that I want to travel is California. I know it’s kind of basic, but I feel like everyone should go there, at least once in their life time. This is the hub of the movie and television industry, and home to many celebrities. The atmosphere would be absolutely chaotic and overwhelming, but I think it would be an experience of a lifetime. I would probably want to go there in the winter time because it would give me a little break from the freezing cold in the northeast and also it wouldn’t be so humid and hot in L.A. I would defiantly want to take a couple of friends with me so that we all can enjoy it together and freely go where ever we want.

While in L.A. I would stay at The Garland hotel, it has a shuttle that can take you to Universal Studios and with a look out the window you can see the iconic Hollywood sign. I would defiantly go visit Universal Studios, although I’m not big on theme parks I would just want to go for the studio tour. I would love to see all the different film sets and witness what goes on behind the scenes of the movies we fall in love with. Which is why I would also want to visit Paramount Pictures and do a studio tour there too. Next on the agenda would be walking down the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It would be awesome to know that you are walking down the same side walk hundreds of stars have been and to read all the legendary names that are honored there.

Afterward, we would take a drive through Beverly Hills to look with amazement at all the fancy houses and city on our way to Santa Monica. That day would be our beach day, we would hang out at the Santa Monica Pier with a three-mile coast line, mountain views, and walking and biking pathways. Each day I would want to go to a different beach to enjoy the drive along the coast.

Overall, this would be a really fun and adventurous trip with friends. The warm weather, obviously, attracts me to this destination the most, but doing the studio tours and visiting the many beaches would also be amazi. I hope if I ever did go on this trip, I would see a celebrity because is it really a successful trip to California if you don’t get to see a star?
