when i was 15, me and the fams spent 3 days in LA. Went on the queen mary ship, went to this water park event thing and hit the malls. So many japan related things you can buy ( i was in love), then took a boat to catalina island and spent 4 days there. that island is bomb ass. crystal blue water, nice women, plenty of things to do.
Came back and drove to San diego and spent 2 days out there. went downtown and to this little old part of san diego that was tourist orriented.
I love cali. been there 3 times and wanna move there.
