Southern California (SoCal) has lots to offer, and the
weather is pretty amiable which means you don’t have to pack for extreme
temperatures. Although you will need to be prepared with a few cautionary
layering items, most of your packing list will consist of clothes that you
can wear all throughout the southern part of the state.
The challenge is that no trip to California is complete
without making a road trip up north then going from coastal beach towns, such
as San Jose, to wine tasting in Napa Valley, to checking out the parks and
scenery in the Big Sur area. Bigger cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego
require a few additional items for a night on the town or city sightseeing.
