Holidays

.

Answer :
Louise: California, pony 
Lise: Arizona, zebra 
Carole: Florida, lion 
Lily: Texas, tiger

Now let's use these clues to deduce the holiday destination and method of transportation for each woman:

Louise: Went to California, rode a pony. (From clue 4)
Lise: Was a chain-smoker. (From clue 6)
Carole: Loved Miami. (From clue 2)
Lily: Rode a tiger and had a cigarette with the woman riding the tiger. (From clues 3 and 5)

Now let's match the destinations and transportation methods:
Louise: California, pony
Lise: ? (unknown)
Carole: Miami, ? (unknown)
Lily: ? (unknown)
We know Louise went to California, but we don't know who rode the zebra or the tiger.

Let's look at the remaining clues:
The woman riding the zebra did not smoke.
The woman riding the tiger had a cigarette with Lily.
Since Lise is a chain-smoker, she cannot be the one riding the zebra. Therefore, Lily must be the one riding the tiger.

Now we can update the information:
Louise: California, pony
Lise: ? (unknown)
Carole: Miami, ? (unknown)
Lily: ? (riding a tiger)

Now, since Lily is riding the tiger, and the woman riding the tiger had a cigarette with Lily, and Lise is a chain-smoker, Lise must be riding the zebra.

Update:
Louise: California, pony
Lise: ? (riding a zebra)
Carole: Miami, ? (unknown)
Lily: ? (riding a tiger)

Now let's look at Carole.
The only remaining destination is Florida, and she loved Miami, so Carole must have gone to Florida and rode a lion.

Louise: California, pony
Lise: ? (riding a zebra)
Carole: Florida, lion
Lily: ? (riding a tiger)

Now, the only remaining destination is Arizona, and Lily must be riding the tiger.
Louise: California, pony
Lise: Arizona, zebra
Carole: Florida, lion
Lily: Texas, tiger

So, the final information is:
Louise: California, pony
Lise: Arizona, zebra
Carole: Florida, lion
Lily: Texas, tiger
