• Answer:

  I have lived in the Los Angeles area and I have been to Florida, they definitely very different. Los Angeles has mountains and deserts, where Florida has swamps. The Palm Springs aerial tramway is really cool, it takes you to the top of a mountain where the temperature is a lot cooler than the desert below. La Brea Tar pits are great, you see bones of animals that were trapped in the tar. The beaches like Newport, Balboa, Huntington, Laguna are really good. Balboa Island is really quaint. And there are lots of art galleries in Laguna Beach. Catalina Island is great, you can see flying fish on the boat ride there and buffalo on the side of the island away from the town. Anza Borrego state park is really nice, as the desert there is beautiful. Julian is a nice quaint town in the mountains above San Diego. It is famous for apples and apple pie. The Getty Museum is good. You can go skiing or snowboarding in Big Bear Lake, which is in the San Bernardino mountains, a few hours from Los Angeles. If you have more time you could visit Grand Canyon or Yosemite or Sequoia or Death Valley or Las Vegas, but all require a few days to go to.
