I've been before in Jan. Temps are obviously better than here in IL. I know it's always changing but is it worth taking a trip out there with all the Covid BS? Is nothing open? Been searching this morning for flights and I'm getting insanely cheap deals. Kids are going full remote, so no need to sit here in the heart of winter doing that shit. I just know CA is equally if not worse than IL with the shut downs. I know a few of you are down there, but just putting my feelers out there to see if it's worth it.

Don't know if it makes a difference, but might be able to stay out there 2-3 weeks. So we could theoretically "quarantine" in a vacation rental for that time. Still would like to get out and eat or do some activities. Let me know CA boys.

Not necessarily looking for excitement. I just know the temp and weather is consistent in that part of CA. That's really all I was looking for with the possiblity to eat out occasionally to get out of the house.

Looking at Southern FL, but I've never liked the vibe down there, more of a panhandle guy and that won't be warm enough for my liking. I'lll look into TX though too. Just want a place with a pool and some privacy, so maybe Brownsville is the spot. If we're doing this remote learning shit, I'd rather get the F out of IL for a couple weeks and potentially up to a month. HRL is just down the road too, so it's intriguing. Likely would be cheaper too.


Try the Northern Part of the East Coast of Florida. Will be much more chill than San Diego. Daytona is a bit more wild, but Sebastien/Cocoa Beach more mellow/chill surfy vibe. You could probably eat in a different beachside seafood place every day for 2-3 weeks. Has several piers. Very low on the mask scale. MUCH cheaper than Calizuela the land of Cults.

Tons of stuff for the kids too. You can also check out Orlando which is only an hour away from Daytona/Cocoa for even more options.

You won't need a wetsuit to swim in the nice Atlantic, either.

Come enjoy one of the few sane places left in Coastal California.

There is always a chance of rain in January through March, but it will typically be like Spring/Fall weather in Illinois with highs in the 60's and lows in the 40's with bright sunshine and very blue skies. The sun will feel really hot and intense during the day, but you need to bundle up a bit at night. Ocean water will be cold (high 50's), but there should be fun size waves and you can always rent wet suits for the kids. Loads of great hiking trails along our coasts and mountains and decent skiing less than 2 hours away in Big Bear, Arrowhead and Snow Valley.

I would think all of the major attractions like the Wild Animal Park, Zoo and Sea World will be open in January. Lots of cool museums and attractions in Balboa Park too. The Midway aircraft carrier museum downtown is really neat.

If you are looking for something more chill and away from the busy city beaches, you can rent a house near the beach in North County in Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas or Carlsbad. You can drive to most attractions in San Diego in 20-30 minutes. You can drive to LA in about 1.5 hours.
