Introduce A Bit Of Variety to Your Summer Travel Plans

I’d like to make a suggestion for a summer vacation travel destination where you can find a great deal of variety in the type of local attractions offered.  Summer vacation travel means different things to different people, that’s for sure.  It may include hitting a bunch of theme parks like Knott’s Berry Farm, or relaxing in the mountains.  For others it is visiting the local museums or hiking or deep sea sport fishing.

An obvious destination is the Disneyland Resort, which includes Downtown Disney and Disney’s California Adventure (by the way, the company is spending like a billion dollars on a major renovation of California Adventure over the next several years).

If you haven’t been to Anaheim in several years, you’ll be amazed at the changes.  California Adventure exhibits the diversity of California culture, from citrus orchards to downtown Los Angeles to the northern California Wine Country.    It is a great place for people watching—a veritable cultural melting pot.

You will likely find this melting pot of international ethnicities to be common throughout much of SoCal.  Although there are often visitors from Europe, Africa and Asia, the countries along the Pacific Ocean are particlularly well represented.

You’ll find quite a number of ethnic communities scattered throughout Southern California, and worth a visit in your summer travel activities.  These include Chinatown, Little Tokyo and Koreatown in Los Angeles County.  Some of the best-known ethnic communities in Orange County include the Vietnamese community in Little Saigon, and the Hispanic community around Fourth Street in Santa Ana.
