Be Smart About Your Choice of Lodging When Visiting Destinations On Your Southern California Vacation

If you have not traveled by Amtrak for a vacation, the time may have come to think about it. The national train network makes it possible to get around from most major cities. Given how beautiful and interesting our country is, the trip itself can be a big part of the total enjoyment.

San Diego is one of the best-known and most appreciated vacation targets in the country. The train runs into the depot not far from downtown, with easy local public transportation available to take you to your choice of many San Diego hotels, and most of the attractions. Compared to areas within SoCal, San Diego is actually relatively close together. In fact, a great many of the local points of interest can be enjoyed by walking.

Perhaps you plan to spend some time on this vacation at a theme park that offers thrill rides. Here we’re speaking of Knott’s Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain (aka Magic Mountain to the locals). According to the SoCal Vacation Guru website, these parks have made roller coasters a strong priority in competing against The Mouse.

Magic Mountain is crazy with wild coasters; the place is lousy with thrill rides. If you are visiting with folks who don’t care as much about thrill rides, you’ll still find plenty to do; check out the Southern California Vacation Guru for useful ideas.

Knott’s Berry Farm also has really focused on thrill rides, although they offer Camp Snoopy, Ghost Town and many other fun attractions and themed areas within the park. My daughter worked on the new Silver Bullet ride and she says that is one of several coasters that will really help you lose your dinner.

Of course Disneyland is the first park that comes to mind, with Dumbo, Mickey, Goofy and the others. There are a few really good websites with helpful information about planning a Disneyland vacation as well as if you plan to visit any of the nearby K nott’s Berry Farm hotels. Disney has no-doubt done the most effective job of bringing imaginary characters to life, much to the delight of us all.

Hit Universal Studios Hollywood and you can find Spiderman, Betty Boop, the Flintstones, Woody Woodpecker and a squadron of other beloved Universal characters that have been at the heart of many television shows and famous movies. You can find some good details about hotels near Universal Studios Hollywood from the SoCal Vacation Guru.

Be sure to make reservations at a well-located hotel, regardless of how you plan to spend your vacation time. Pick a Southern California hotel in the wrong location and you’ll spend way too much time driving. That would be valuable time to waste since you only have so long for your vacation.
