Travel to Catalina Island, CA for a little R&R

      Don't look now but it's that time of year again to find a beautiful Island getaway before the dreary, cloudy Central California Coast weather sets in. Although I must admit that our Indian Summer was amazing and much needed it was entirely too short! The warm California sun and beautiful weather is already a distant memory, becoming more and more like a clouded dream with each new rain drop rousing winter without further ado!!

Well, there you have it. Some beautiful pictures of one of our favorite island getaways, Catalina Island! You have two great options of where to stay; Avalon, a place of romance and island life with more than enough shopping areas and restaurants to last you more than several trips. Or Two Harbors on the west end of Catalina where there's no end to the rugged exciting outdoor adventures.
