my imaginary trip to california.

i wish i could take a vacation... somewhere hot and fun. california would be perfect right now. come now, let's all imagine this together....

we'll wake up in our 5 star hotel in anaheim on tomorrow morning, and walk across the street to disneyland. we'll meet all the best characters - cinderella, sleeping beauty and snow white. we'll walk straight to splash mountain. wait in line for no minutes because i am smart and got us all fast passes so we can skip most of the lineups. although the lineups are half the fun at disneyland because they are so detailed. they are pretty much part of the ride. then we're going to indiana jones, thunder mountain and space mountain. those are all my favorites. disneyland is so great because the rides are seriously just so fun. you laugh the entire time you're on them. oh i'm so jealous that my brother is going there again soon. after disneyland i'd go to california adventure where i'd work up the nerve to ride that freaking scary rollercoaster. oooooh man that is fun times. the rest of california adventure is kind of not worth the money. the actual disneyland park is more fun.

the next day, we're driving to hollywood and spending the day there. maybe hit all the stars' homes. and go to universal studios, which is not to be missed. there is so many cool things to see there. then i'd want to go to long beach for a day and shop the little board shops and tourist places and lie on the miles of sandy beaches. all we need is four or five days. i can't wait to meet some stars. we'll meet them while shopping on hollywood blvd. i'd like to have a few words with brad pitt anyway. i think we'll have to get a hotel in hollywood... the beverly hills hotel of course, nothing but the best, because we need lots of time here.

oh wait, while we're in california, we may as well take the 2 hour drive south to san diego. san diego is so beautiful. there is so much to do there too, so i guess we're staying another 5 days. the san diego zoo and sea world are must sees. we're spending an entire day on the island - coronado village - because the beach is gorgeous and you can windsurf and sightsee and do all sorts of fun things. time to go shopping and walk all around in seaport villlage and have lovely five star meals with beautiful ocean front views on the harbour. oh man i'm not kidding guys, my trip to san diego with my dad, regan and regan's dad was probably one of the best vacations i have ever had ever. i'm truly enjoying my memories here.

alright, so since i'm driving and this is imaginary, i give us an extra 4 days. now we're driving north again to san fransisco. i suppose i'd have to plan this better. i think we would START in san fran, then drive to LA then finish off in beautiful san diego. i have only been in san fran once before and it was only for an evening, and i tell you that's just not long enough. it's a very very cool city with so much to do.

wow, what a great trip this has been. i'm glad that we all went together because the more the merrier! it's been a little break from reality.

Heh! I got to go on those rides at Disneyland for the first time ever back in April...let me tell ya, you are never to old to go to Disneyland. The coaster at California Adventure was great, as were the rest of the rides. I did every stinkin' ride in both parks...well except the kiddie rides, only cause Shawn wouldn't let me! We did Universal and The Mummy was the best ride. Got to see Eva Longoria...(made Shawn's heart race a little) and I got my pic with Tyrese or Tyese (can't spell), but whoa what a hottie! Anyway the trip sounds like a great time! I would come if you need some extra company! ;)

That is so crazy! I have been watching the OC and it inspired me to want to take a trip with some of my friends to California, this was a few weeks ago. So I stayed up till the wee hours of the morning one night and planned an 11 day trip to California with 7-9 of my friends. Not too sure how many will come yet.

Its not till next August, but I researched Hotels van rentals, fuel, food, and all the necessaties and broke it all down. Basically its going to cost all of us $800. Now that seems like alot of bling, but really if each person can save $65 a month for an entire year, it will basically make the $800 for next August, and it is something to look forward to. The van ride will be half the fun! So I figured it this way, $65 a month will pay for your trip, all meals, hotels, each persons share of the van rental and fuel, and we all get income tax so if we each hang onto our income tax, we will all have money to spend while we are there. Its realistic because we have a year to make the money. I am so looking forward to it!
