Here Are A Few Ideas About Summer Travel

May 17, 2009

I’ve been thinking about where I could go with a lot of vacation attractions, but will be sensitive to my tight budget. A good candidate for your summer travel plans would be Southern California. There you will find theme parks, beaches, great weather and a lot more.

Another possibility would be Hawaii. It’s hard to beat the beautiful warm ocean water, but it does not offer as much overall variety as Southern California. You might want to read this article by the SoCal Vacation Guru, where California vacations and Hawaiian vacations are compared. The beaches in SoCal do not have as many rock outcroppings and the sun is less intense (as is the humidity). As we noted, the Hawaiian waters are warmer, but in the middle of summer, the cooler California water can be more invigorating.

A Hawaiian vacation does offer beautiful subtropical vegetation and fascinating Polynesian cultural experiences. But don’t forget the melting pot of many different cultures to be experienced in California, as well as the mountains, desert and coastline.

Southern California offers much more than great beaches. You could spend a week checking out the seven top-notch theme parks between San Diego and Los Angeles County. If you are a fan of roller coasters, you really need to visit Knott’s Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain. You’ll discover many intimidating coasters and thrill rides at Knott’s and Six Flags. In fact, they offer more thrill rides than Disneyland, although the Magic Kingdom does include some fast attractions such as the Matterhorn and Space Mountain.

You won’t find many roller coasters in Hawaii, although surfing on the North Shore of Oahu in winter would qualify as a thrill ride. In terms of the budget, there may be great vacation specials to both destinations, but you can drive to California if airfare is too costly.
