Enough of the snow!!! Give me the Beach!

With the massive storms hitting the rest of the country, it is nice to find an area the way it should be, nice and sunny, and for me that is California. If you are a west coaster like myself, then good ole Los Angeles is your escape from Winter! I know it is for me.

Out of all the events there is to do in L.A. in the wintertime, I recommend making a stop to Disneyland which has "Main Street USA" is all decked out in the Holidays and they have carolers who perform for your Christmas needs.

The beach is still nice to walk on, you may not to go into the water because it is around 50 to 60 degrees, instead of the comfortable 80 to 90 degrees it is in the summer. It is funny that I have a problem with the colder water of the ocean when the temperature in my hometown throughout the month of December is right around freezing.

Well, if you want to a quick break from your arctic wonderland and you live on the west coast, give California a try.

Last Minute Cruises... Half the Price... Done!


I must have been hiding under a rock, because until last week I had never heard of last minute cruises. When I found about this option, it blew my mind. My spontaneous nature thrives on random sudden vacations but now to know that I could get them for half the cost, this is genius.

I am not going to point out any sites because I don't want to to look like I am advertising any one site but by just typing last minute cruises in whatever search bar and you have amazingly cheap cruises at your fingertips. Is there anything that the Internet doesn't do for me?? I don't know how I existed before it was created.

Now, the ultimate find would be getting a last minute flight to one of the locals that my last minute cruises would sail from. Maybe even get me a last minute cab to the docks or something, that would be the true hat trick!
