Last update August 10 2011 for Travel California.
Some of my favorite California places include Napa Valley, San Francisco, Yosemite, Disneyland, and of course the beaches of San Diego (above photo is a view of Scripps pier in La Jolla and the world famous Black's Beach San Diego). And if you are looking for the scenic route from north to south, you'll love the Pacific Coast Highway.

Travel to Northen California Napa Valley
Just north of San Francisco in Northern California is Napa Valley, the most famous wine country in California. Full of beautiful vineyards and wineries open for wine tasting, it is a relaxing way to spend the day. At the northern end of the valley is the charming town of Calistoga. Enjoy a mudbath, massage or other spa treatment in one of the many local spas in town. (Photo credit Melissa Dixon). A great California travel destination in Northern California.
San Francisco Travel in Northern California
I love San Francisco, the most beautiful city in the world. Shown here is the famous Golden Gate Bridge (photo credit Cathy Snider). If you visit Northern California, a trip to San Francisco, or "The City" as it is called by the locals, is a must. It is a warm and beautiful city in the winter, but in the summer be warned - the fog may be scenic over the bridge but "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco".
When you visit the San Francisco bay area, find the best San Francisco things to do at Hidden San Francisco. This website describes the pleasant, wonderful, magical experiences of SF.! A collection of the best of the best treasures!
