TravelWorld International Magazine, Winter 2021 - The Magic of the Holidays

he Academy Museum is the talk of the town. There is so much to
see and absorb! It is truly a life changing experience. Plan a journey
here, marvel at the exhibits and consider returning soon for screenings,
lectures and happenings, and movies everyday, all year round! With my
passion for movies, and as a Founding Supporter, Charter Member and
Journalist, I participated in the early celebrations and can personally verify that
the new Academy Museum is an instant joy and worth a visit. It’s a perfect place
to spend holidays, and any days, with family and friends.

This isn’t just a getaway.
It’s a water-splashing, wildernesswandering,
cocktail-sipping, toes-in-the-sand, headin-the-clouds,
off-the-grid, any-time-of-year kind of getaway. Just
22 miles off the coast of Southern California, you’ll never feel more, well … away.
