Advice plz on travelling along west coast of U.S.A
In the not so near future I'll be travelling along the west coast of America, from San Fran down to San Diego, making a number of stops along the way including L.A and Vegas.
I've been to L.A in July but know nothing about the rest of the west coast, so I'm seeking advice/help from anyone who has been or lives there on what to see or do. Also any recommendations on where to stay etc would be welcome.
Oh and for those on or near the west coast, watch out!!!

You know, Flibbles, it helps if you give an idea what you'd like to do, or would hate to do, otherwise we just suggest away and you get a bunch of crappy ideas.
But, from what I know you like...
San Francisco, Pack only your best dresses, as the trannies there know what they are doing.
Save Los Angeles for after your Las Vegas trip, even the worst cross-dressers can make a few bucks. Great way to recoupe any losses you drop in Vegas.
San Diego, Be careful, the Sailors most likely just came off cruise. I suggest crossing the border to take in a TDS (Tijuana Donkey Show). But, don't go to the bars that advertize the real deal, it's usually a rip-off, ask a local, who knows you may just get the feature and make a few more bucks in the right dress.
I do have to ask, though, You do know they voted to ban Gay Marriage recently, right? Just in case you had made other arrangements, hate to see you waste you're White Dress.

If you want to play at LA Casinos, Hollywood Park, Commerce, Bicycle Casinos are good ones here. Disney Land, Magic Mountain, Universal Stuios are places to visit for fun. There's Wax Museum in Hollywood, it's worth to visit. Santa Monica, Redondo Beach is pretty cool too. At Melrose street, they sell a lot of unique cool clothing which you cannot find in mall. If you like music, there's a lot of live clubs in Sunset Strip. I hope this will help.

lol ya jokers!
As for what I like doing etc, seeing stuff that's interesting would be up there, but as I said, anything you think is worth seeing let me know and then I'lll decide if it's my cup of tea, although I'm pretty much up for anything (except cross dressing!)
Cheers for the tip hawk, I've only been to Santa Monica from the list you gave but liked it alot as it was relaxed and had some decent shops. I'm on the lookout for any good bands playing while I'm there too, would prefer Indie music but won't be picky

We've recently been to California Flibb, and as you are a lot younger your tastes will probrably be a bit different to ours, there are a few things that I think could be helpful, Monterey in nice on the way from SF to LA,if u want to go to the beach in LA, Redondo Beach, and a bit further out towards SD Laguna Beach are I think the nicest. If u are going to Vegas, check out the hotel websites like Venetian Palazzo and MGM there are some great deals atm - it tends to be much cheaper to stay in Vegas in the week (Fatwallet.com is a good place to look)- and it may be a way away, but if u have time the Grand Canyon is a must for anyone.

Nice one Boothy, hadn't thought about Monterey (hadn't heard of it) but will check it out for sure. I've a huge list of things to do and as I used to love Geography I've pencilled in seeing the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, also got Laguna Beach down to visit (got to try and get into an O.C style house party ). We haven't booked the hotel for Vegas yet but there seems to be a few good ones, such as the Venetian, Luxor and Hard Rock, altho the latter im told isn't directly on 'the strip'.
Also for those who have been to Vegas, which show would you recommend seeing? I was thinking about Criss Angel 'believe' but there are a few on, such as Steve Wyrick and various comedy shows. Any recommendations?
