I've been traveling SO much lately and the whirlwind of cities, airports, hotels, and events has begun to blur together.  Yet Los Angeles will always stand out.  No matter where I go, when I'm in LA, I pause for a beat, and take a breath. I just adore the West Coast, it makes me happy.  The Pacific, the mountains, the weather, the food, the life.  It's all my speed (when there's no traffic...wait, that doesn't exist.)
