Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 FYI, there are several beaches close by. Newport Beach, the Newport and Balboa Pier as well. Laguna is not much farther. The PCH (Pacific Coast Hwy) runs up and down the coast line and the views are breathtaking. THere are manay many parks as well. Also, with a handicapped plate or tag, parking is free. Also, a lot of the beaches have beach wheelchairs that they will lend you as well. Cathie ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Alright Casey, Since you're a " native " what else would you recommend? We just spoke w/ some people today who had been out in the same area and they recommended the Legoland and some(LaBraya?) tar pits? Are those nearby? It's a bit overwhelming for someone who's never been further west than Colorado!!! Thanks in advance!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Corrie, I've never been to Legolnd but my nephews loved it (they were 7 & 9 at the time, but my brother (53) loved it too.) The tar pits are basically just a park, unless you are into dinos or just looking at a pool of tar tis no biggie. I'm not sure how are they are from Costa Mesa tho.. The tar pits are almost downtown LA. My kids loved Universal Studios.. it's almost as expensive as Disney.. but a blast.. I wish the conf had been further north, like San Francisco, then I could give you all some really great ideas. I live about 100 miles NE of SF and grew up in Sacramento. Here's a web page that has tons of info on stuff to do from there, where it's at.. http://www.travelcostamesa.com/ Casey ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Get the Yahoo! toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you're surfing. http://new.toolbar.yahoo.com/toolbar/features/mail/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I'd like to hear the San Francisco hints. We'll be spending a few days there after the conference. Thanks! joanne > I wish the conf had been further north, like San Francisco, then I > could give you all some really great ideas. I live about 100 miles NE > of SF and grew up in Sacramento.
