In introducing our US coverages we are concentrating on California. We have selected the destinations of Carmel, Santa Barbara, and Ojai to cover first.

So please click below on the destination you are interested in and explore some of the loveliest spots in the world.

A word to the "doggie" minded. The health authorities in their blinkered wisdom periodically go by their book and make life difficult for eateries to allow dogs even on their patios but many restaurants are trying to welcome our furry friends. So please ask in advance whether your restaurant of choice is able to accomodate your canine family member.

We are more worried about catching something from our fellow citizens or from improperly washed silverware than from dogs and cats, but we are a nation of laws and many restaurants and trying to find an accomodtion for us all. We want to thank them for their efforts.
