Lovely page and I enjoyed it a lot! I visited SF and really enjoyed it. Most people do not realize how vast and diverse this state is still. So many wonderful cities and towns to still see. Thanks for sharing.

Great tips on a beautiful State. Visited only LA once, wish had explored more. Macy was also my fav store in Dallas (especially during sales).

Brings back memories. I once worked in Berkeley for several years (a long time ago) and found California fascinating – well, the northern half, anyway.

Mono Basin National Forest is just our cup of tea Jeannette, thanks for such a lovely pg :) We have decided to visit the US for 3-6 months in a couple of years time, enroute to going home to SA for good. Very exciting!!! Will definately visit Cali! Jen x
