Located just off the coast of mainland California, Catalina Island is an ideal destination for couples looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Simply put, it allowed Heather and I to spend a few days relaxing in a new setting and doing things together that we might do on vacation - but without the hassles and headaches of traveling somewhere.
