This is one of my favorite hotels in the world, top 10! I have returned twice and love the fall with its a light wind blowing and leaves turning colors. Oxford is very close and a tremendous experience - take some one who is college bound, it will make an impression!

If you need any kind of medical treatment, check out the Bangkok Hospital in Pattaya. It is like a 5 star resort, a string quartet plays in the lobby. The meals are given to you as if you are dining in a fine restaurant. The nurses are 3 to each patient and the bed side manners of the doctors is extroidinary. It is the opposite of a grass roof clinic that comes to mind when thinking of getting health treatment abroad. Go find out for your self and there is a good book called Patients Beyond Borders - a must if you are thinking of partaking in this latest trend. Even the rooms are like small resort rooms and you have an extra bed for any visitor that might stay with you. Fabulous. Safe Travels!

The Oceanside Pier is a step back into time. You will have a ball as you enjoy the southern California sunshine and the wonderful sites, smells and sounds of the sea, the breezes, the food and the people. Take sun tan lotion! Safe Travels!
