Scuba diving, zip lines, Buffalo Milks and the 26 Miles Across The Sea song. These are all activities and items that were featured on the on the #MenWhoBlog Virtual Happy Hour show about Catalina Island.
Aired on Tuesday on the Men Who Blog and PubClub social media channels on June 23, it featured Cathy Miller, VP of Marketing for Love Catalina (the island’s tourism department), co-hosts James Hills of MenWhoBlog.com, Kevin Wilkerson of PubClub.com, as well as show bartender Gabi Nunez, PubClubette Ashley Semosh and musician Barclay Roach. Catalina Island is now back open to visitors after the COVID-10 shutdown and the show highlighted many of the things for which Catalina is known for throughout Southern California. As well as many things the average traveler may not know, such as revealing the name of the “noisy bar in Avalon” in the Crosby, Stills & Nash song “Southern Cross.”
