I read in another thread where men don't wear a jacket and tie very often to dine out in California. I can leave all my dresses at home? will I still get to eat?

Faina

yes, you could, but you may be arrested on the way to a restaurant for indicent exposure. and then a meal in a slammer is not as good.

What part of California are you planning on vacationing? LA and San Diego are definitely casual - San Francisco a little less so. But overall, I'd say that you can dine at most restaurants in California in a pair of nice slacks even if the place is somewhat fancy.

Yes, you can leave all your dresses at home. If you do find yourself needing a dress, just buy one in Cali. And Josie, don't forget to buy a clue there too.

Josie

I hope the clues are sold by the dozen. I'll have lots of space in my suitcase since I won't need dresses. Thanks for a good tip.

Josie,

Sounds like your suitcase isn't the only thing that has lots of space.

You're making me blush....but, thanks for the compliment....which reminds me, Grand Canyon had SO much space...how long would it take to drive there from SF?
