Take it easy on the California coast
A drive from San Francisco to LA down the Pacific Coast Highway reveals so many of the pleasures of America at its best: lunch in Sonoma County, a boat tour of San Francisco Bay, beach life in Santa Cruz, spectacularBig Sur and the palm-tree glamour of Los Angeles. And this summer the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary is set to become the number one family destination thanks to the new movie ‘Finding Dory’, which is set at the world famous aquarium.
WHY NOT TRY ‘Cannery Row’ by John Steinbeck The ‘great American author’ tag could be applied to many writers, but Steinbeck is arguably top of the list. He explored American life with a unique voice
and ‘Cannery Row’ is one of his best works. Set during the Great Depression, it follows characters on a rundown street lined with sardine canning factories. Drunks, shopkeepers, a marine biologist – each life is compellingly written. As a result (and despite Steinbeck’s warm but far from glamorous portrayal of the area), this corner of Monterey was renamed Cannery Row to honour the novel.

and budgets, but all of them have the features below
Relax inFlorida
Whether you’re touring the Keys, doing the beach in Miami or spending two weeks combining theme parks and R&R by the hotel pool, Florida is a popular holiday choice that really delivers. Go turtle spotting on North Palm Beach, inspire your kids to get out of this world at theKennedy Space Center, then dare yourselves to venture into ‘The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’ at the Universal Orlando Resort.
WHY NOT TRY ‘Birds of Paradise’ by Diana Abu-Jaber Make sure your sun lounger is positioned in the shade, because Diana Abu-Jaber’s 2011 page- turner will keep you gripped for hours. Avis and Brian Muir are
living a charmed, affluent life in Miami, until their beautiful 13-year-old daughter Felice runs away, casting a dark shadow over every day. The story begins as the runaway is about to turn 18. While her parents know she lives nearby, they have almost no contact with their daughter. The contrasts and social gulfs of contemporary Miami are vividly reflected in Abu-Jaber’s powerful exploration of family and love.
A Kindle is comfortable to look at, even in bright sunlight. Ideal for the beach or by the pool.
