    Getting TO/AROUND: We flew from Chicago to Palm Springs' Airport and rented a car. A car is a must in this area. If you plan to go anywhere or do anything, you must have a car.

    After we left the Palm Springs' area, we drove in this rental to southern California Coast.
    It's also very great when you are golfers to have so much room to store your equipment.

    This was Budget Rental.

    Be sure to ask what discounts you are elgible for. You may have AAA or ARP to receive a discount. We used ARP.

    Also check to see if you earn miles for using certain Car Rental Companies.

     I loved reading your tips about your trips to California. My father was also in the Navy and was in San Francisco for some time during the war. He also fought in the Pacific.

     Wow! These pages are terrific. The Queen II, the Hotel, your condo, the food, the beaches, shopping, Bill Cosby, The Follies, the SD Zoo...just marvelous.

     Excellent page, Dee! Now I know why you love this part of your country so much. That photo of the dark-haired child is very touching. I wish I visit California and your #1 there San Diego one day!

     I needed a California fix and this was a great place to get it. I have yet to make it to San Diego but it is on my list. Another excellent page, Dee
