Monterey, California This Month
Has anyone gone to Monterey at all---or in the pre-winter especially? I want to get a package that includes: * two-day, one night stay * Monterey Bay Aquarium (probably the whole day, and JUST one day) * whale watching the other day I am a Californian who has been to MBA a few times---my stepfather did the original art design of MBA when it was built by Julie Packard and father in the 1980s---so based on my last visit a decade or so ago, I figure one day is more than enough, although the Aquarium could have grown quite a bit. Have never done the whale watching though. I have this special girl here in USA for three months with two weeks left, and so I am trying to please her. I am looking at a B&B/hotel that provides a nice package, and want to know who to look at or at least who to stay away from. Doing this on Christmas or New Year's Day is not out of the question, although I doubt the Aquarium or whale watch tour is open. My main jumping-off point is he http://www.gowhales.com/hotelpkg.htm Thanks for all suggestions. |

A lot of nicer places do two-night minimums on weekends and holidays. One place that might help you is www.resort2me.com which does only the Monterey area and will know where you can stay one night. Otherwise, in my experience, calling around to try to get a single night can be an effort. There are a lot of nice places to stay in the area. It depends on what you like. I don't have a sense of it from your post. * Monterey Bay Aquarium (probably the whole day, and JUST one day) Getting single day tickets is as easy as can be. This is a non-issue. * whale watching the other day I have not done this. |

I have this special girl here in USA for three months with two weeks left,
and so I am trying to please her. Lucky you. You might try tripadvisor.com for advice on lodging & restaurants in that area. She also might enjoy a drive on the scenic "17-Mile Drive", which starts just south of Monterey and has wonderful ocean views. It ends at Carmel-By-The-Sea, which is touristy but has some nice restaurants, art galleries, a nice Spanish mission, etc. James |

I'd agree that the 17 mile drive is interesting. |

Just get an www.expedia.com deal or www.priceline.com and call up the whale watching boat (number one is Magnum Force) and buy a ticket. Same with the MBA. |
