I'll join you in the moaning. I hate the "cutesy" words. I hate how everybody parrots it. Yeah, it's a day trip or a weekend getaway. Why coin something new and stupid?

I do enjoy the idea, though, since LA has so many cool places and those of us who live here rarely see much of it. I don't see much unless I have out-of-town guests. Gives me a great excuse to go see things.

My list of desired day trips:
Huntington (again)
Getty (the Malibu one)
Griffith Park
Catalina
some of the ethnic areas (Koreatown comes to mind)
