Thank you for the advice.
Are those just beaches though? As much as a relax would be lovely, I think we would need stuff to actually do too! I was looking at Zion today - it does seem much more of a trek than we were initially advised. I’ll have to have a think about that one. We will be using internal flights for the longer journeys. Our last trip had some pretty big drives - usually fine as me and my dad both drive, however we were both so I’ll last time, and he had vertigo too, so it was all left to me. Again, usually fine, but I was also really ill so definitely don’t want to risk that again! X

Thank you! Seeing the seals would be completely amazing, I’m such a sucker for wildlife, which is why we’re going back to the San Juan islands. I’ve wanted to see San Diego for so long, I’m really excited to finally be going X

Wow sounds amazing!
Solvang looks beautiful, did you get to spend much time there at all? I was showing it my parents last night, and they are really interested in visiting there. Is Knotts more geared towards smaller children then? Would we be better with Six Flags? My dad is wanting to get back into doing the rides (he has been designated bag holder for years due to having bad motion sickness from too many repeat goes in Busch!) so I thought it might be a good mix of bigger rides and the more sedate to ease him in? I’ll have to have a look at Joshua Tree too X |

It’s great there.
If you haven’t already check out Aims’ sticky on San Diego. Loads of fantastic information and she’s always very helpful with questions.

No not at all. Santa Barbara is the prettiest town in California in my opinion. It's called the American Riviera. We we there 2 days and didn't go to the beach. Carmel is also a gorgeous town and close to Big Sur, Monterey etc.., Palm Springs is a desert town so no beach and Laguna Beach is also a beautiful town with a great art scene.
It will all depend on your final itinerary but all of the above are great adult only destinations with shopping, dining, activities, nice accommodations etc.. and might fins a place in your final draft. |

We did Joshua Tree and San Diego last Christmas and loved both! I did a trip report (in my signature) if you would like more details!

Hi, we loved Solvang, stayed overnight there then had the morning to walk around for a couple of hours. Don't think you'd need all day unless you wanted to do a wine tour.
Knotts is a nice park though the smaller rides are more like fairground rides so geared more for kids. My 12 and 24 did one 'small' ride which my youngest loved but left my eldest queasy for the rest of the day! It is cheap though and the farm shop (and boysenberry jam) is worth a visit! Going to Joshua tree at the weekend! Edited at 06:16 AM. |

Still planning away in the background!
We can possibly now do more than the original 3 weeks, so are thinking of incorporating some time in Hawaii after the San Juan Islands! Has anyone done this before? Xx
