SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA, USA - OCT 8th, 2014: city Leadbetter beach with a cruise liner
Santa Barbara, CA. Beautiful town with a beautiful beach and great wineries.
Highly recommend! Had my son’s reception dinner here for 17 people - the food, served family style, was some of the best my foodie children and the rest of us have had, topped only by the impeccable service. Definitely worth the stop when in Santa Barbara!

Motel 6 at Hyatt prices. Room was terribly noisy, and the front desk refused to move us (even by offering a higher cost room) by claiming that the hotel was sold out—despite rooms being available on Expedia.
