We've all heard the expression "Nothing is sure but death and taxes." To that, I'll add: for non-Californians, driving in Southern California is sure to be a harrowing experience. With its spiderweb of freeways and drivers who appear to be in qualifying heats for the Indy 500, even the stoutest of us can turn into cringing, white-knuckled cowards.
What if I told you that you can experience three SoCal cities without having to rent a car, and worse, getting behind the wheel of it. The trio _ San Diego, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara _ are linked by Amtrak, and once you're in each, through use of public transport, the occasional Uber and your own two feet, you can get pretty much everywhere you need to go.
