The Ojai Valley
Inn & Spa
Ojai Valley, California
Ojai Valley Inn
Between syndicating the show,
publishing this magazine and running for president, Max and I were
in desperate need of another break from L.A., so we drove up the coast
to the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa.
Ojai is, without a doubt, one
of the loveliest places on earth, not as spectacular as Tibet, but
then the toilets in Ojai are a lot better than those holes in the
ground in Tibet. And it was breathtaking enough for film director
Frank Capra to choose as the location for his cinematic vision of
the mythical Tibetan paradise "Shangri-La" in his 1937 movie Lost
Horizon.
One of the local Ojai ranchers
swore to us that he sees UFOs beaming off the Topa Topa Mountains
on a regular basis. I must say, I don't blame the extraterrestrials
for liking the Ojai terrain: Magnificent, sweeping panoramic vistas,
perfect weather, and gloriously clean air. Combine that with the friendly
efficient staff, fine food and entertainment, superb recreational
facilities, gentle relaxing atmosphere, and giant-sized beds of the
Ojai Valley Inn, and you've got an earthly Shangri-La, all just 90
minutes from L.A.
Room at the Ojai Inn
When Max and I go back, though,
we'll have to make sure we get one of the older guestrooms. They gave
us one of the brand new, renovated rooms, which was nice and big with
two gigantic beds, but compared to the older, more gracious buildings
at the Club, let's just say it lacked character. But Max made up for
that by doing his Pee Wee imitations, and we had a fine, relaxing
time and were very sorry to have to leave the Elysian Fields of Ojai.
