Flash Back Friday - Santa Catalina Island

 My first trip to CA - in the late 90's!  I took a boat ride out to Catalina Island.  I was by myself and enjoyed walking around, and even snorkeling for a bit (wasn't much to see).  It was a lovely day in southern CA and I was very tempted to move to the LA area  (weather was much better than Chicago).  But the better job was in San Francisco - and that's where I landed (thank thank thank goodness!!)  But it's still fun to visit southern CA (just don't want to live there :))
