peter, i have been to california once, and i cant say i was too fond of it. too much traffic, too much urban sprawl, and too many rude people.. i have become acustom to the slow pace and laid back attitude of small town life, so cali was just a bit much for me.. but then again, someone from cali would find my little town to be an absolute bore.. i guess it just depends on what you are used to..
my least favorite state i have visited.....MISSISSIPPI.. unless you like potholes, 110% humidity, and greasy spoon restaurants(and i mean greasy), then i would stay away.
