While strolling along the harbor in downtown San Diego I came across Unconditional Surrender, a 25-foot tall statue by artist J. Seward Johnson. His work is an interpretation of the famous Alfred Eisenstaedt photograph taken during the V-J Day celebrations in Times Square in 1945. Located in a small park next to the USS Midway aircraft […]
Where the undulating landscape of San Diego meets the shimmering blue Pacific lies the community of La Jolla. Often called California’s Côte d’Azur, La Jolla’s scenic coastline offers unrivaled natural beauty—from white sand beaches lined with palm trees to craggy inlets and sandstone cliffs dropping to the sea. The name La Jolla is an adaptation […]

On a recent weekend getaway to the desert, I took a ride on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, the largest rotating aerial tramway in the world. In only […]
One of the most recognizable landmarks in Milano, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a shopping center that gives true meaning to the phrase “They don’t make ‘em like they used to.” Located on the north side of the Piazza del Duomo, the Galleria is named in honor of Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of […]

I’ve been to five continents and to islands all over the world—from Hawaii to Hong Kong and the Azores to the Cyclades—yet never to an island that’s only twenty-two miles from Los […]

With a population of 1.3 million, it’s the second largest city in California and attracts more than 30 million visitors every year.
