What was supposed to be a business trip turned out to be an immensely relieving and refreshing personal trip as well. My conference at in Ventura, CA gave us some wonderful moments to cherish and even better weather to relish.
There are very few things that I am a captive of. Nature is foremost amongst them. And nature in any form of water – lakes, rivers, seas or oceans, enthralls me the most. My hotel was on the pacific coastline. My room overlooked Pacific Ocean. What more can I ask. I spent hours effortlessly watching the waves splash the coast. Whenever I had a break in my conference, I was back in my balcony watching nature at its best.
For someone from Phoenix which has an average summer daytime temperature of 110F, 70F on the coastline is a dream come true. Throw in a resort-type atmosphere, a laid back but interesting conference and paid trip into the mix and the outcome is very satisfying. It is not an overstatement that this is the best personal trip I’ve had. I did not attend the casual dinners that were included by my conference sponsor. All the 4 days, I had my dinner out with my wife, after we spent hours on the beach sand. I could see the ocean meeting the sky at the end of horizon on all the three directions and it was a treat to watch.
Sometimes, I tried preparing for the conference and the presentation that I was supposed to deliver by sitting on the balcony deck that faces the ocean front and all that I ended up doing was watching the endless magical waves. I strongly recommend Ventura and its surroundings as a very good vacation spot. I see myself visiting Ventura often in the coming days, thanks to US Air.
