DAY TRIPPIN’:New Tours Make Catalina Even More Fun (Part 2)

As promised, here is the second part of things you can do in a day at Catalina Island.

Catalina was originally developed by the Wrigley Family of Chicago as a spring training camp for the Cubs, and their beautiful Georgian Colonial built in 1921 is now the Inn at Mt. Ada - great place for lunch with a stellar view overlooking the harbor (advance reservations required).  Another historic home converted to a hotel is the western author Zane Grey’s.  Then there’s the 1st Tuna Angling Club almost next door to the Casino which hosted such notables as Theodor Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Cecile B. DeMille, while promoting sportsmanship for big game fishermen.
