It’s the chance of your (admittedly short) lifetime — you’re seeking golden coasts and slow waves, the endless sprawls of sun and summer. California beckons and you intend to answer the call. So a vacation is planned; and a budget is created. You won’t need much, you’re certain: all days will be spent on the beach, enjoying natural beauty and its naturally free cost. You need nothing beyond a few spare dollars and a supply of sandals. No other items will apply.
This, you discover as soon as you arrive and are greeted by the wealth of attractions, is wrong. Riverside property management companies warned you of diversity — and now you realize they were correct. There is much to do… and you are woefully unprepared.
Too often do individuals assume that they will do nothing on a vacation beyond lounge at the beach. Sand is their intention and they’re certain it’s a worthy one. It is — but few dedicate themselves entirely to it. There are monuments to explore. There are amusements to seek. The waves simply won’t capture all focus at all times.
And that endless offering of capris and bikini tops is suddenly inappropriate.
It’s vital therefore that each trip be understood as multi-faceted. You will do more than swim; you will see more than coastlines. It’s imperative then that you pack accordingly:
One: Casual wear. Select clothing that can be used for strolls along the promenade or in local shops. Bathing suits are not suitable.
Two: Evening wear. While you may prefer the ease of diners and drive-thrus, you may also wish to sample exotic cuisines. Have an outfit dedicated to elegance.
Three: Shoes. Never assume that your beloved flip-flops will suffice. Be certain to have at least one pair of loafers, heels or the refined equivalent.
A journey to California requires more than tanning lotion. Be prepared and dress well.
