Just found this site via Facebook. Some good stuff here, especially the blogs about cell phones. I also like the Cuba photos, but can’t get to Cuba until they lift the embargo.
I live in SoCal, so if anyone has any questions about that area, I’ll do my best to help you out.
Ciao!

A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!
Samantha shares some street art pictures from her recent trip to Bogotá, Colombia.
A garden in South Wales is the topic of today’s post from ProfessorAbe
DrFumblefinger shares photos of the Fitz Roy Massif, one of the most famous and difficult to climb peaks in the world, situated in Patagonia.
So just found out today that I gotta go to Minneapolis for almost two weeks in February. Being from SoCal, this doesn’t sound like that much fun to me. I’ve got winter clothing and I’ll mostly be busy with work, but should have a few…
Hi, Ted…
Me and my family like to do road trips…we’re planning one now from Atlanta to Denver…but we’ve never gone to California that way…too far.
So if we wanted to fly somewhere in California and have a 10-day or so road trip with a few days stop at the end, where should we start and what should we see?
Thanks…I didn’t think of that. I’ll copy it over…
Thanks for the greetings! Mrs. Briggs, good idea moving the question over. I’ll look for it now.
Hi Ted,
I think we’re all pretty new here. I’m from the Pacific Northwest. Welcome to the group.
I get out to LA some. My business takes me to Ventura County (Amgen). Any good tips for a place to eat out that way? I saw the link to http://www.roadfood.com on a different thread, so I’ll check that out, but wonder if there’s some place you like to go.
Hi Nature Lover,
Amgen is T.O., just west of the San Fernando Valley and I really never go there. But about 20 miles west of T.O. is Ventura, and I like to head up to the ocean sometimes for a day here. Great beach. Fresh air. Good marina. And GREAT fresh seafood.
There’s a wonderful small seafood restaurant there called Andria’s. Simple stuff — just plane tables, plastic forks, paper plates, but GREAT fish. Fried, grilled, chowder — everything’s wonderful! So from Amgen it’s about a 20 minute drive and beautiful, with strawberry and lemon fields.
Here’s the link for Andria’s. http://www.andriasseafood.com/
Welcome Ted,and we look forward to your contributions!

Hi Ted. Its always good to hear that my Blogs are of interest !
I’m in England and there’s a few others scattered around the World too !
Never heard SoCal before – so I’ll guess.
“It never rains in SoCal” – just when I’m there.
Pleased to meet you.
I’d like to add my welcome, too, Ted! To you and all of our members, thanks for joining and for visiting TravelGumbo, and for your contributions to this website.
Spread the word! We want T.G. to be a fun and interesting place for people who love to travel!
By the way, Mrs. Briggs, the question about a road trip in California is a good one. Why don’t you start a separate forum page (thread) on that? One way to make it easier for people in the future to benefit from our discussions. Ted, if you have suggestions for Mrs. Briggs, keep an eye out for that and help her out.
