Southern California: Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On


Tho the epicenter of the recent 5.2 earthquake was 20 miles south near Disneyland, we were all shook up here in West Hollywood the other night.

For about five seconds, we could feel the floor wiggle as if we were on a moving bus on a bumpy road. As news items came in about the earthquake area, they reported no major damage, except for several water pipe breaks and merchandise falling from store shelves.

If your current travels include visiting the Los Angeles area, there's probably no reason to change your schedule. If worried, check with your travel agent about any delays or damages that could affect plans.

While visiting Las Vegas, take a day away from the casinos, spas, pools, shows and buffets to enjoy a visit to one of Mother Nature’s most spectacular creations.

There are many travel organizations in town that specialize in Grand Canyon trips by chopper, airplane and bus. For a typical six to 12-hour trip, as well as overnight camping, the cost starts from about $100 per person, depending on the various schedules and extras. For example, All Las Vegas Tours currently advertises a Grand Canyon West Rim bus trip at $109.99. It includes pick-up at your hotel, air-conditioned bus, lunch, visits to Hoover Dam, Joshua Tree National Forest and the Hualapai Indian Nation at the Canyon.  

Check online, with your hometown travel agent or your Las Vegas hotel staff for all local trip choices. For more on this example and others, go to www.alllasvegastours.com
