Getaway Trip, Sonesta Redondo Beach

May 1, 2023 by Dave3 Comments

This beachside resort is within about a 20 minute drive from LAX. And for those wanting to enjoy Southern California's mild year-round coastal climate and its 'fit' lifestyle, the resort is conveniently located across from the Strand, a bike and pedestrian path which runs up to Malibu.

My Visit To Israel

March 12, 2023 by Janet MatriccianiLeave a Comment
