Amtrak

Pros: The overall travel experience. Cons: Wait time can be reduced, station was locked when we returned to Stockton and hence had to wait outside till the taxi arrived. It would be great to have a direct train from SFO to LA… it would have reduced at least 1.5 hours travel time. Tips: Enjoy the ride…

The best part of LA is that it has something to offer for people of all interests: outdoor enthusiasts can hike up to the Hollywood sign, fashion aficionados can go shopping in Beverly Hills, art lovers can check out the prominent Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the Miracle Mile district, and those looking for a fun night out can go bar-hopping in West Hollywood. Are you a Pokémon GO addict? Well then this is the place for you because LA is the best city to catch the rarest Pokémon in the U.S..
