Hi buslady, thanks for the real info. As a tourist, people are thinking of National parks and the wild beauty of the nature. What about the climate there, is it bareable ?. Which is the best time visit the area.

I live in Southern California, right now, it is hot and dry. Very very little rain this year. Those visiting from hot, arid places would feel at home right now!
Around here the tourists would see Disneyland of course, Hollywood, Los Angeles which in my opinion is not really great-it's dirty; not classy like New York; there is famous Huntington Beach-know for it's surfing history.
Even in the National Parks you can get some heavy traffic during the holidays. Always find out when those are and AVOID them. Summer (May to August) is the tourist season, it's very busy. Don't rent a car, take a cab. You don't want to drive around here, it's bad. It might look all wonderful and organized but it's bad.
I dont that much about San Francisco cos I live 500 miles south of it! ^.^ heheh...
