Travel Brigade

Join Travel Brigade for a summer of sun, sand and waves in Newport Beach, California, the place where the popular series Arrested Development is set. The Bluth family frozen banana stand doesn't really exist, but we will tell you about the two places on Balboa Island that both claim to have invented the frozen banana and Balboa bar. Besides being a fun setting for the show, Newport is a great place to visit. We'll have interviews with locals to find out about renting a beach house, surf and sail lessons for your kids, biking the boardwalk or shopping at Fashion Island. Enjoy the trip! Follow us on Twitter @TravelBrigade.
