California Dreaming

Advantages: A relaxing place for a few days break
Disadvantages: It's much too far away from London

In February I visited Monterey, a beautiful town on the central coast of California about 110 miles south of San Francisco which has become a popular tourist resort. Why Monterey? This town is 2-3 hours by road from San Francisco, less from the airport or from San Jose and Silicon Valley, and I think about 6 or 7 hours drive from Los Angeles. Because of its location and attractiveness, it has become a popular choice for conventions, and an event was organised there for readers and writers of mystery and crime fiction called Left Coast Crime over a long weekend in February. Hundreds of us descended on the town for a few days. Mikey and I arrived on Tuesday. Because of the convention (held at the Doubletree Hotel 5 minutes walk from the centre of town from Thursday afternoon to Sunday lunchtime), spending time with a large gang ...

Disneyland Dreams in California

Advantages: Fastpass system really helps with queues
Disadvantages: Small park so gets cramped very quickly

You can purchase 2,3,4 and 5 day hopper tickets allowing you access to both parks starting from £65 per adult and at least you don't have to queue up to purchase tickets when you arrive. *~*Disneyland Park*~* As with all Disney Parks there are themed areas, at the entrance you will ...

Review of Disneyland (California)

California Dreaming

Advantages: Bargain price, even at full price.
Disadvantages: Bottle two creeps up you and pounces like a stalking big cat.

Alright hold your hands up if you thought this was going to be a Mama's and Papa's review? Well it isn't, it's a review of fermented grape juice instead, or to give it its proper name Sainsburys California White Zinfandel. Unfortunately Ciao have decided to put a picture of Blossom Hill's version of this wine at the top of this review, so I've included an actual picture at the bottom. The bottle is unopened as well, aren't you impressed? THE WINERY I've been unable to track down the actual winery that produces this wine for Sainsbury's. The only information I could ascertain comes from the label itself, this informs me that the grapes used to produce this wine are sourced from more than one vineyard. Some coming from California's Central Valley and others from vineyards on the Pacific coast. THE GRAPES Zinfandel is ...
