Synopsis

Twenty-three quick and convenient minivacations take you away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Take a twirl around the world-famous Casino Ballroom, enjoy a gl-bottom boat trip, and dine in fine style at water's edge on the Santa Catalina Island escape. Tour an eighteenth-century mission, have your palm read, shop in galleries and specialty shops, and take a bike ride through a bird refuge on the Santa Barbara escape. Explore the magnificent Palm Canyon, play golf, try your luck at a casino, and leave room for a bit of after-dinner movie-star gazing on the Palm Springs/Coachella Valley escape. Each Escape includes detailed route maps, travel directions, destination highlights, activities for morning, afternoon, and evening, choice restaurants, picnic sites, lodgings, special events and festivals, shopping and local sources of information.
