Hi there,

Here are my photos from my various trips to California. Hope you enjoy the photos. The research I have done here and online has helped me tremendously, especially with my last long layover at LAX and I fulfilled my dream of seeing the Walt Disney Concert Hall!

This album covers my trips a few years ago to San Francisco with side trips to Monterey and Carmel and Yosemite (around one week), San Diego (around one week) and two layovers in Los Angeles.

Thanks!

Your photos are beautiful Ben, thank you for sharing them! I often think our Fodorite's take much better photos than one finds on postcards. Wishing you many more wonderful trips.

thanks for sharing.

Hi LoveItaly – thanks for your lovely comment! I gathered from your screen name that you love Italy? If you are interested, please have a look at my Italy album here: I will post this on the Europe Forum later on.

Hi Myer – your photos are beautiful as well. It seems like we have been to a few of the same places.

Hello Ben, well thank you! I will enjoy looking at your Italian photos early this evening while enjoying a glass of wine. Yes, I do love Italy and sometimes get homesick for it (also due to the fact that I have so many friends there that I miss). Thanks again for thinking of me. Have a lovely weekend.

Thanks Ben for the photos! I went straight to my hometown, L.A. to see what interests tourists coming here, and I have to say I was pretty dumb-struck seeing a start on Hollywood Blvd. for . . . Mickey Mouse!

I also got a kick out of seeing the donkey at Olvera Street -- I think every kid who has lived in this town since the 50's has had their picture sitting on that donkey (or a predecessor donkey!) with the silly hat on the child's head!

Glad you got to see the inside of Walt Disney Concert Hall! You should have gone for a concert -- the accoustics are amazing!

LoveItaly

For anyone that is interested in Australia and/or New Zealand if you go to the Australian Board Ben has fanstactic photos posted there from his visit to those two countries.

bencito,

Again, your Italy pictures are great and bring back many memories as well.

Yes, we've been to some of the same places.

In case you're planning, I was in Southwestern Utah and Arizona lest May and NYC & Philadelphia is Sept. I'm planning on Eastern Utah next may and probably something else.

Maybe I'll see you at some of these places.
