Yes, I get confused with all of them. It may be expensive to live here but I have never lived in a place where relaxation is so close.
Our California does have its problems, for sure. But I wouldn't live anywhere else. As I've said before, the only way I could move would be to take the Pacific Ocean with me. That would mean Oregon, Washington, Alaska or Hawaii. No thanks. Now if I could figure out a way to make a living on Catalina Island, that would be ideal. :-)

Some good beaches here are Coronado by the Hotel Del Coronado, La Jolla, etc.
