Here are a few observations:- The weather was great, the people were welcoming, the hotel was largely staffed by Mexican people who I found to be charming and the food in the local restaurants was excellent.

The traffic was horrendous, the airport security body searches were somewhat humiliating and the grid road system lacked the mystery of the winding mountain roads in Wales where every mile presents a new vista.

Should I have travelled further inland?

I used to live in Huntinton Beach!

You wouldn't have seen anything better further inland. Down south a little further is prettier, towards SanDiego.

Well, it sounds like you had fun. Did you like it enough to live there?
Are you talking about the hotel right on PCH, by the pier?

The hotel, yes...you have it one...could I live there? Possibly, as long as I could join a Barbershop Quartet and sing.

Only if you drop bread crumbs. You think the traffic is bad around LA airport, you haven't been to the Inland Empire.
