Title: Caliiiiiforniaaa...
Post by: emmy on July 22, 2004, 06:30:12 pm
Lol, kay, hope nobody gets mad at me for posting this, but I know there are a lot of people here from California... and in... hmm?  a week?  I think a week, I'll be in California.  

There are tons and tons of Cali books and such, and they all list places that I should "supposedly" go and visit.  Anyways, I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions of things that when I go to Cali, I MUST see.  I figure people that live there probably know best, right?  

I know I at least want to go to LA and SF... soo... yeah.  I have unlimited greyhound passes, so wherever there is a bus station, I can go.

I also have a six flags season pass... there is one of those out there, right?  Is it worth going to?

The Six Flags I know of is Six Flags Marine World, over by Vallejo I think. It's definitely worth it. What you must do in California, though, is eat at an In-N-Out Burger fast food restaurant...the best burgers in the world, and only in good old CA (well, okay, so now there's like one in Las Vegas and one in Arizona, but who's counting?) 8)

There are two Six Flags parks.  One in Vallejo and one down in So Cal.  Either or is nice.  You MUST go to SF and shop on Haight.  That's what I'll be doing on Tuesday anyway. :D

The whole central coast is really pretty.  Just try to get on a bus route from LA to SF that takes you on the coast.  Some get into the valley.  While I love the valley (and am like a total valley girl), if you've only got a little while, there's not a lot here to see.

A burger place you must go to would have to be Fatburger. duh.  :D

Six Flags Magic Mountain is kick ass and you must go!!!

Disneyland...not really....not something that is worth it.

Erm...Raging Waters (the water park) the best place ever, in San Dimas.

Knotts Berry farm, don't waste your day on that pathetic theme park. Only a couple of good rides, not worth wasting a whole day over it though.

Only if it were Knotts Scary Farm, but even that, isn't all that scary.  :o

What else? *thinks*

Universal Studios Hollywood/Universal City Walk, fun fun fun.  :D

Venice Beach in Santa Monica, walk around and shop. Its cool.

OR . . .

You could just not go to California and come to wonderful, schizophrenic/bipolar-weathered Kentucky.

No,I thought you were from Oklahoma.


Once a year the best managers all get free trips. Generally to Florida. I'm hoping one day it will be in Kentucky;some place I've never been.

Oh that would be so awesome!  Six flags is probably somewhere we will definitly go, since we have the season passes so it would be a free thing, hehehe.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys ^^

Oh... so you're damning me then?! haha.  :P

Disneyland is insanely expensive, at $50 a ticket! but it is fun... but Space Mountain, the best ride there, is closed until next year sadly!
Magic Mountain is better! X is amazing, and deja vu is the most extreme ride there, but it's SO much fun!

Bleh, In-N-Out burgers.  I haven't eaten them for years and years.  Mainly because they are called that for a reason.  The same burger is supposed to come in and then go right back out.  The effectionate name for them are barf burgers.

It was awesome hanging out with you, Jessica, Nicole (even for just a lil) and your friend today Emily!!!
You now know Hollywood is pretty boring... haha. But seeing the hollywood sign, and seeing Britney Spears, Toby Mcguire, Leonardo DeCaprio, the Osbournes, Jackie Chan, and Phil Collin's houses was pretty cool! haha.
Omg... on the way back though I thougt I was going to die. It took me forever to find the freeway because the signs are not what they say they are, my mom called me and made me miss when I was sposed to change exits so I had to back track quite a bit, there was bumper to bumper traffic for much of the way... I started crying had a panic attack, which is tough when driving. But I got home alright and can breath again, haha. And it was all worth it! I hope you had fun too! Have a great trip to San Francisco!!  :D Hopefully we can hang out again soon!

Like Tricia said got to Haight and Asbury. Cool shopping there. And at the end of Haight is Amoeba Records that place is awesome. Of course you gotta do the touristy things like Pier 39. Alcatraz is cool. Be sure to ride a cable car.

Have fun be safe.
