NEED TO GET AWAY? ENJOY A LUXURY TRAVEL EXPERIENCE IN NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA

There’s no doubt about it. These past few years suffering through the Covid pandemic have taken a toll on us all. But with the advent of effective vaccines, the world is slowly opening up to tourism. National travel is the easiest, of course, and if you have a need to refresh your mind and spirit, there is no better place to do so than on the coast of Southern California.

You can pretty much travel to SoCal and enjoy wonderful weather and adventures twelve months out of the year in this sun-kissed destination. We had the opportunity to visit Newport Beach in May, 2021 and would like to share this wonderful experience with our readers. For luxury travel at its best, the Balboa Bay Resort is an excellent choice thanks to its long list of amenities, interesting history, and its location directly on the picturesque bay. You can read all about it on our recently published USATODAY10Best article.

We’ve got all our favorite photos from this trip up on our NEWPORT BEACH PHOTO SITE.

Get vaccinated if you are not already, and feel safe traveling! That’s the only way we will defeat this pandemic, and I hope you agree!
