Are you thinking about taking some time off any time soon?  Are you still trying to decide what to do or where to go for your not so well deserved vacations?  Well… the search is over.  When in doubt, go to New York. Yes, it’s not your typical tropical, relaxing escapade, but you’re still in for a helluva good time.    

…or maybe not.  Perhaps it is an overstatement when talking about this small island in the Los Angeles area. For some it is a tiny peace of paradise, for others it’s just an okay place to sort of getaway from the mess that this city can (and often does) turn into.  Whatever your point of view is, there’s no denying Catalina Island is a fascinating outpost to Southern California; sitting just twenty six miles from the port of Long Beach. The Island has a unique history, having been the domain of the Wrigley Empire, spring training camp for the Chicago Cubs, WWII Defense Site, and continuous vacation getaway, all wrapped up in one.

So you’re home alone and bored, watching yet another Simpsons re-run.  Even though you are carb conscious, deep down inside you’re a fatty and you refuse to accept the fact that every time you see food on TV (even if it’s animated) your mouth waters.  Don’t even try to deny it, we all know it’s impossible to resist, especially with Homer Simpson’s mouth watering donuts. Whether you’re into sweets or not, donuts are always a good option for breakfast or just a snack. Healthy? Of course not! Yummy? Hell yes! So what to do when you’re fed up with your everyday shenanigans and you feel like pigging out to some sweet stuff and committing a joyful sin called gluttony?  

So you have lived in Los Angeles for several years now, yet you’re a strager in your own city.  Yes, we all do that… we get too busy and never leave our comfort zone.  Los Angeles is more than a 25 mile radius bubble in which you commute from work to school to partying.  There’s much more in between that we fail to see. If you want to explore L.A. and discover places other than your typical hot spots and theme parks, just take a tour.  Esotouric is definitely the way to go.
