post 1 I have decided to go to California and be away for two weeks. The reason I chose to go to California is because I have always wanted to go there and I have been to USA many times so I know what I am going to shop. I want to go to many different places and se as much as possible of California, but I also want to live in nice hotels. I am going to stay in Malibu a bit longer than the other places I am going to. On my trip, I am going to do many different things like surfing, snorkeling, go to famous places and do a lot of shopping!

post 2 I arrived yesterday in the evening. As soon as I got to my hotel-room I fell asleep because I was very tired and yet-lagged. This morning I woke up by the sound of the waves rolling in on the beach and seagulls. It felt so awesome and it made me really happy. I had a lovely breakfast at the hotel before I walked down to the beach where I hung out almost all day. The water was a little cold but it was nice because it was really hot outside. The waves were big and I had so much fun swimming in them. I love to play in big waves and try to swim on top of them. I had a nice late lunch at Café Bonaparte where I ate a delicious ceacarsallad for $10. After lunch I walked around in the area to get to know the place a little. I also walked out on the pier, bought an ice-cream and sat and watched the waves for a while, just enjoyed the moment. It was really relaxing and I felt like I could sit there forever. Before dinner I went back to my hotel-room and took a shower to get rid of all the salt and sand in my hair from the beach. I ate a delicious pasta with seafood for dinner at Chef Melba’s Bistro, which is five minutes’ walk from the hotel. After the dinner I walked back to the hotel and watched America’s Next Top Model on tv before I went to bed. I think this day was perfect and I have decided to do the same thing some more times on this trip. It is so nice to just relax and enjoy the beach.

Today after a lovely breakfast at the hotel I hung out on the beach a couple of hours. It was really nice weather and big waves witch I love. Before lunch I went back to my hotel-room, took a shower and changed. Then I went to 3rd street to do some shopping and eat lunch at Starbucks. I ate a grilled sandwich and drank a caramel frapuccino. After the lunch I went to a lot of stores for example Abercrombie & Fitch, Juicy Couture and Gilly Hicks. I bought two tank-tops, a t-shirt and a pair of jeans at Abercrombie, a tank-top at Gilly Hicks and two tracksiutes and a handbag at Juicy Couture. I am very happy with everything I bought and I had an awesome shopping spree. When I got back to the hotel I was exhausted after all the shopping. I had dinner at the hotel restaurant Coast where I ate entrecote with potatoes and salad. For desert I had crème brulée. After the dinner I went back to my room and took a long nice bath before I went to bed. I think this day was so much fun but I think I am done enough shopping for this trip now.

post 3 I got back to Sweden yesterday and I am really jet-lagged at the moment. My trip has been amazing and I am going to miss California so much! The best thing about my trip must be that I basically lived on the beach witch gave me the opportunity to go swimming and hang out on the beach whenever I wanted to. The hotels I stayed at were both really nice and I look forward to stay at them again. One thing that I didn’t do and would have wanted to is to visit more places like Malibu, Venice Beach, Palm Springs, Los Angeles, San Diego, Beverly Hills. I really want to come back and the next time I go there I want to stay longer and visit more places. I also want to rent a sailboat and sail to different places instead of take a taxi for example. The next time I will need more money to be able to do all the things that I want to do.  I’m going to tell my friends and family everything about the trip and show the pictures and what I bought. They sure will be jealous and hopefully they will want to go to California with me some day.
