If you’re traveling to Los Angeles with the family or just want to relive old childhood memories, the original Disneyland Park, located in Anaheim, is a must-do of your vacation.  Since its opening in 1955, it has seen more visitors than any other theme park in the world.  In addition to the famous Main Street, U.S.A., a Midwest style town designed to resemble the childhood of Walt Disney, there are four main sections of the park. The four original park areas include Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland each house an array of rides and exhibits.  You can take pictures and hangout with characters that roam throughout the park and watch daily parades and ceremonies, which usually occur on Main Street.

Adjacent to the Disneyland Park is Disney’s California Adventure, which has been open since 2001.  The park consists of five sections that are meant to resemble famous areas of California.  (more…)

Los Angeles is a city packed with fun, thrills and adventure.  Knowing how to find your way from one exciting activity to the next is key to a successful trip.  Fortunately this city has an impressive public transportation system equipped with subways, light rails and buses so you’ll never find yourself stuck without a ride.

The Metro Rail System combines these various types of transportation systems with six different lines.  Each line is distinguished by a color, 2 of which are subways, 3 are light rail and one rapid bus line.  This system reaches to the outer limits of the Los Angeles area and continues to expand.  Schedules and fares can be found on the LA metro website.  You can also check for any delays or alerts online.

For an upscale night of dinner and dancing, the Aqua Restaurant and Lounge in Beverly Hills has both the trendiness that is characteristic of the area, along with late night fun, dancing and drinks.  Upstairs at Cinch is another popular stop, located on Wilshire Blvd.  The sleek and trendy décor and atmosphere may suggest otherwise, but unlike many of LA’s nightclubs, you don’t have to be a celebrity to get in.
