As of right now I am going by myself to check the sights out before I leave with a group to Vietnam (Missions Trip). Now I looked at Hotel Prices and they are around 200 a night by LAX. There are hostels that cost $20, anyone opt in for a hostel? Never stayed at one. Also, what is some cool loner things to do in California? WhaleWatching, Universal, and Alcatraz seems cool. Wouldn't mind surfing either.

Whale watching would be on the more northern/central coasts and Alcatraz is in the Bay Area. Many people assume California to be much smaller than it is.  The Bay Area is a good 6 hours from LA with plenty of traffic in between and depending on the route, some of the most boring driving you could ever imagine.
