Catalina
January 13, 2008 7:02 pm My Trips & VacationsHello I’m going to tell you about Catalina. Catalina is a really big island that sits about 22 miles from the beach by my house in the ocean. It’s a very fun place that I just visited for new years.
I got to Catalina on a boat called the Catalina Express. it only took about an hour and a half on the way over I l liked to talk to my grandma and grandpa and then I went to watch the waves with my dad.The waves were very big they almost knocked me over.
I stayed in a really nice condo at a place called Hamilton Cove. It had two bathrooms and three bedrooms each with two beds. The condo even came with a ocean view and a golf cart! The golf cart had six seats, was pretty fast for a golfcart and it was white. A really cool thing about Catalina is that most people use golfcarts to drive around instead of cars! So it was fun to drive around town like that.
Catalina has 2 main cities. I stayed near the city called Avalon. There’s lots of really fun stuff to do in Avalon like take a Submarine to see the bottom of the ocean. There’s also a lot of shops, restaurants and even a Casino. I liked some of the gift shops because they have shells, shark teeth and other cool stuff. I ate dinner in a place called Antonio’s. They had great food. We walked on the Avalon green pier a lot. My brother Dylan and I liked chasing the birds and feeding the fish there.
There are lots of other animals at Catalina. There are buffalo, Eagles and other neat wild animals. I even saw a wild dear and a pack of wild cats! We bought kitty snacks at the Avalon market and it was fun feeding all the wild cats.
I’ve gone to Catalina many times. Every time it’s a lot of fun. I’ve also gone to Two harbors and Cherry Cove with my Grandpa and Grandma on their boat. That is always a lot of fun and I like spending time with them, but I think I like Avalon the best. Well that’s all I’ve got to say about Catalina for now. See ya next time!
