.. any Californian's here?

Arnold Posts: 1,112 Joined: 2000/11/27	2002/04/26, 10:24 AM Hey.. I'm planning to move to California for a couple of years. I'm the type of person whom can't spend his entire life in one location.. scary stuff. So anyways.. it won't be for another year or so, but anyone here from Cali? Any recommendations? I'm not looking for LA.. but the more 'cozy'.. 'upscale' areas.. thanks! ---------------------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o.

I just want a change of scene.. there is only so much that Canada can offer. My friends is from San Fran and loves it.. but I think I want to go a bit further south. -------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o.

North County San Diego is cool, too, except for the traffic. Me, I love the San Diego beaches Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach. Some great gyms around there too.

San Diego county is also great- Upscale would be La Jolla or you could go north a little and hit Rancho Bernardo or Poway. You'd have the San Diego zoo and balboa park as well. You should just come on out and visit, see what you think.

I used to live in San Diego but work took me away, fortunatly I am only 2 hours away and live in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. I have grown to love the mountains as much as I used to like the beach. It depends on what kind of climate you want. In So.Cal. there is just about any type around. Dino

Are you wanting to be on the coast or further inland? -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!

Pleasanton is cozy and upscale. It's very close to San Francisco but you don't get too much of the hustle bustle of the city. I love it there!
