I thinking of flying over to southern california to kill a couple of days between business trips.
I have to go to Austin Texas and then either fly back to Honolulu and fly out to Milwaukee the next week or fly over to Cal and kill a couple of days and then fly out to Milwaukee from there.
it'll probably save me 5-6 hours of flight time and connections going each way.
so other than the St Regis fronting salt creek, what other 4 star hotel would you southern californians recommend where you can walk out and get some decent surf right outside your door like you can in waikiki or at the hanalei St Regis or Starwood at Kalapaki Bay?
Us Hawaiians are spoiled you know with easy access to surf and warm water.
If there's nothing then I'll just have them fly me home so I can surf at home and then fly back out again a day or two later. If I was guaranteed that they'd put me on the same airlines I'd do it just for the miles but it'll be the cheapest fare if anything.
there is a Holiday Inn (?) at California St. in Ventura and there is a no tell motel called The Carmelo right next to the Rip Curl Shop in San Clemente for Uppers.
