Official Love Letter · Est. One Night at the Bar

I Fucking Love
Catalina

26 miles across the sea — and apparently worth every one of them.

5.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ a perfect score, defended loudly, at a bar
Avalon harbor, Catalina Island
Greetings from Catalina Island

Five friends at a bar. A trip to Catalina nobody really wanted to take. Then one of them stood up, finger guns out, and spent the next hour explaining — with total conviction — that it's the greatest place on Earth. Nobody saw it coming.

A true story, allegedly

Flew first class from Chicago.
Would do it all again, no bullshit.

The Catalina Flyer

One hour across the water with the sun on the way over. To him, that's the best part of the whole trip.

Ten out of ten

The "Casino"

Technically not a casino — no tables, no cards. He loves the building anyway, maybe more for it.

Iconic regardless

Avalon

A tiny harbor town that runs on golf carts and sunburns. He'd call it a living postcard and mean it.

Pure charm

The Bison

Yes, there are bison. Out on an island in the Pacific, living their best life. He finds this deeply moving.

Living the dream
