Santa Catalina may refer to:
California (i/ˌkælᵻˈfɔːrnjə/ KAL-ə-FORN-yə, /ˌkælᵻˈfɔːrniə/ KAL-ə-FAWR-nee-ə) is a state located on the West Coast of the United States. It is the most populous U.S. state, with 39 million people, and the third largest state by area (after Alaska and Texas). California is bordered by Oregon to the north, Nevada to the east, Arizona to the southeast, and the Mexican state of Baja California to the south. It contains the nation's second most populous census statistical area (Greater Los Angeles Area) and the fifth most populous (San Francisco Bay Area), and eight of the nation's 50 most populated cities (Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, and Oakland). Sacramento has been the state capital since 1854.
What is now California was first settled by various Native American tribes before being explored by a number of European expeditions during the 16th and 17th centuries. It was then claimed by the Spanish Empire as part of Alta California in the larger territory of New Spain. Alta California became a part of Mexico in 1821 following its successful war for independence, but was ceded to the United States in 1848 after the Mexican–American War. The western portion of Alta California was organized as the State of California, which was admitted as the 31st state on September 9, 1850. The California Gold Rush starting in 1848 led to dramatic social and demographic change, with large-scale immigration from the east and abroad with an accompanying economic boom.

Catalina may refer to:
An island /ˈaɪlənd/ or isle /ˈaɪl/ is any piece of sub-continental land that is surrounded by water. Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys. An island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, or a holm. A grouping of geographically or geologically related islands is called an archipelago, e.g. the Philippines.
An island may be described as such despite the presence of an artificial land bridge, for example Singapore and its causeway, or the various Dutch delta islands, such as IJsselmonde. Some places may even retain "island" in their names for historical reasons after being connected to a larger landmass by a wide land bridge, such as Coney Island or Coronado Island. Conversely, when a piece of land is separated from the mainland by a man-made canal, for example the Peloponnese by the Corinth Canal, it is generally not considered an island.
There are two main types of islands: continental islands and oceanic islands. There are also artificial islands.
California travel expert Veronica Hill of http://www.CaliforniaTravelExpert.com tours Catalina Island in this episode of "California Travel Tips." The second largest of the Channel Islands, just 22 miles from California's coast, Catalina makes a great family weekend.

{So, okay}
{o, lastly, well, we were supposed to be here last night
I mean, not and you're late, no}
{We were supposed to be in this town, sleeping soundly in beds
With toilets really nearby and}
{But, but, but what? No instead, we were in
We were in the, a study room in a dormitory
At this University of Chicago
And we were having a little slumber party}
{It was like, able, I mean, it was either that or sleep but you know
At the gate in the airport, so, so we decided, well, the study room}
{And it was so funny 'cause there we were in in Chicago, right
And everybody was in Chicago and they could check out
Any time they like but they could never leave}
{So, so and then, oh yeah, right, so and Chicago is just infested
With, with cranky air travel people, and they were all
They had filled up the hotels, so but not the dorms! No
