Re: Santa Monica California: Where Gumbo Was (#198)
I spent a lot of time in Santa Monica in the mid-1980s while doing my internship and residency at UCLA Medical Center in nearby Westwood. Always cool on a hot day, always a nice place to walk around. Brings back many good memories, thanks!

Re: £45 to meet Santa?
I hate to be the one to say it, but they're not meeting the real Santa Claus. This one is a fake. The real one is busy making toys at the North Pole for his Christmas Eve run.

Re: Merry Christmas from Knott's Berry Farm
Your post brought back many wonderful memories of past visits to Knott's. We also lived in California years ago (and have since moved away, as have so many) and made a point of visit Knott's every Holiday season because our kids enjoyed it so much. The place is busy, but not nearly as crowded as Disneyland and the admission much more reasonable (probably about half or even less). The park is wonderfully decorated and there were unexpected treats for the kids -- their first toboggan ride down...

Re: Tenerife - Your Exotic Relaxation Place
I went to Tenerife as a kid and as an adult, lovely place both times. So family orientated. Mount Teide is amazing, being able to go from the beach to a snow capped volcano. Cable car ride sounds an amazing adventure!
