There isn't a lot of destinations in this world where we can expect to see a bisons heard during the day and a swarm of flying fish in the night. However Frank Yan will share a place where he enjoys traveling to when he is away from his Sacramento home.

About 25 miles towards south of Los Angeles, Santa Catalina Island is where we can experience it all. A boarding a ferry thats you to the island for perhaps to catch a movie shoot, the buffaloes that roam around the hills are lucky with year round sunny skies temperatures that hover 68-75 degrees, who would not like to be marooned on these palm-lined and sandy shores.

Since Catalina Island does limit the amounts of vehicles on its shores, the best way for transportation is to rent a bike or better yet a golf cart. Frank Yan suggests to go check out its many of the wildlife adventures. You can choose from whale watching tours, scuba diving, snorkeling, or his favorite to ride on a glass bottom boat.

Catalina Island also offers a zip line experience through its treetops and hiking through the island vegetation in search of the bison herd. On the island you will see the Catalina Casino. The casino does not offer any gaming, it is more of an Spanish tile roof that makes it a landmark that acts as an host to a ballroom, museum and the Avalon Theatre. It's more of an Art Deco for its many visitors.

Frank Yan says that there isn't nothing compared to Catalina Island from his hometown in Sacramento and its surrounding cities.
