With a state as large and diverse as California, 800 miles long from top to bottom--snow-topped mountains, fog-shrouded cities, year-round balmy beaches and rolling vineyards--it's hard to know where to start and how to stop enjoying the Golden State's cornucopia of sights, sounds and tastes. One way to begin is to pick a theme, or two--culinary explorations, theme park fun, eco-tours, cultural immersion, water sports or snow slope adventures--and weave an itinerary around your choices. No matter what part of the state you target, chances are you can come up with a combo to please a travel partner or family members of different ages.
