Hi,
Can't wait for your trip report as you have done almost exactly what we have planned for September. Please could you tell me what the Stars Tour was like? Its something I have always wanted to do, but have been put off by reading various reports on Trip Advisor. Also was the drive down PCH1 as good as they say it is? Thanks Mark |

we did the 5 hour grand LA tour with the 2 hour star tour after. the gran tour was ok..the star tour was fantastic...but tbh the driver/guide made it..saw loads of stars houses...but no stars..although we did see a Bugati Veron(sp)
pch1 was fantastic... even all the way up in Pacifica near san francisco/big sur... fantastic scenery..and then down to santa barbara/malibu... 3 lane high way right next to the fantastic beach...will hopefully make a start on my TR today |

got back yesterday from california,we did 3 nights las vegas,3 nights san diego,2 nights anaheim then 4 nights marina del rey
I really liked san diego and the zoo was great..we bought california passes which worked out well..sea world was good too... we went to disney and it was so funny i was looking for the castle and i was stood right by it..after floridas castle last year it looked like a bungalow ha ha while in san diego go to coranado island it's lovely and they have the famous hotel del corando there..very posh We did the star tours..we booked it online as it was cheaper..make sure you do the open top van as ours wasn't and taking pics was a waste of time through a window.. try and look if there are any events on at the chinese theater in LA if you visit as we got there and within 10 mins it was shut to the public due to the drew barrymore premier that evening so if you had one day you couldn't take pics of the hand prints..luckily 10 mins was enough for us The thing i noticed in disney and universal is that some of the store workers etc were not as friendly as in flroida and florida had more of a magic feel...i felt disney felt like alton towers if you know what i mean..in florida everyone wears the fun hats etc but LA wasn't much of that.. we found venice beach to be a bit seedy..santa monica was nice just to go to the pier etc..malibu was lovely and lovely houses etc any more info i will be glad to help
