Good morning travelers! How was your weekend? Are any of you traveling this week to get married now that gay marriage is allowed in California? We’ll have a look at ideal destinations for honeymoons this week and, in the mean time, here’s the Los Angeles Times Gay Marriage page and Reader Q&A. Tell us where you’re going, we want to know where the hot California wedding destinations are these days.

Summer Travel | Los Angeles Times staff writer Jane Engle advises us to get a passport now and avoid the rush.

Budget Travel | Grant Martin over at Gadling tipped us off to a last-minute deal to South America. United has Buenos Aires (EZE) on sale. When I tested this deal, I couldn’t find any $599 or $650 fares like Grant did, but I did find Saver Award seats available between Los Angeles (LAX) and Buenos Aires (EZE) for 50,000 miles plus tax. Available departure dates were June 17-23 and June 25-26. Available returning dates were June 22-29. I did not check July.

Hotel News | HotelChatter got me excited today. They are talking about the possibility of an Alcatraz Hotel in San Francisco by 2010.

Local | L.A. Now featured a photo of the Hotel Cabrillo in San Pedro — a reminder that you can turn in photos to Your Scene. In addition to travel, there are categories including Your Neighborhood, Your L.A., Your News and more.
