    Headed to Cali this weekend

    Well, I've only been to Cali once in my life before and this weekend I fly in for trip #2. It's been 7 years since I've been there and I'm a rookie at what to do while I'm there. I'll be in orange county and there for about 2 weeks on a business trip. Free time will be limited but I do have some. Any places anyone here recommends to check out? Cool attractions, places to eat, etc?

    Hey!!! I resemble that remark! Just because the clubs let me in through the employee door doesn't mean I've been there.....much.

    Go to Extasy Lounge. Full nude. The VIP area is amazing. Beds in the back. Lots of contact play.........so I've been told.

    I like all food except Im not a big seafood guy. Strip clubs on a business trip sound like a good way to blow an awful amount of cash, I'll probably avoid them haha.

    I'm a big time snowboarder so I would absolutely love this. In fact, I almost told my boss I wasn't going to go to southern cali in January because I didn't want to take time away from boarding. How far is the nearest resort/mountain from orange county?

    I started out a skier many years ago. A nasty accident put me in a wheelchair for 3 months and once I healed enough I had outgrown my gear so switched over to boarding and been addicted ever since.

    Your far from any mountain to board on. About an hour and 40 mins to a decent mountain. The snow in cali is only good if there is new snow and you got about 3 days to go before its melted
