You can do the whole drive LA to SF in ~10 hrs, but you would miss so much cool stuff along the way.<br /><br />Here is just a short list of things do and see along the way:<br /><br />Santa Barbara<br />--UCSB<br />--Santa Barbara Zoo (cute, nice exhibits and free!)<br />--Santa Barbara Mission<br /><br />Solvang<br />--eat ableskiver and other danish delights<br /><br />Pismo Beach<br />--Vistit the candy store downtown<br /><br />Avila Beach<br />--Grab some ice cream and the General store<br /><br />San Luis Obisbo<br />--make sure to check out the Madonna Inn<br /><br />Cambria/San Simeon<br />--Hearst Castle<br />--the elephant seal haul out<br /><br />Big Sur<br />--Art and camping in the Redwood (though it may be a bit wet and cold right now)<br /><br />Carmel<br />--it like taking a stroll through a Thomas Kinkade painting<br /><br />Pacific Grove<br />--Pebble Beach if you're into golf at all<br /><br />Monterey<br />--the Aquarium (one of the Best in the country, if not the world)<br />--Kayak Elkhorn Slough, and get up close and personal with some sea otters<br /><br />Santa Cruz<br />--UC Santa Cruz<br />--Banana slugs<br /><br />Half-Moon Bay<br />--Mavericks. Surf UP!<br /><br />SAN FRANCISCO<br />--The Golden Gate bridge<br />--Alcatraz<br />--Union Square<br />--China Town<br />--Ghiridellis Square<br />--Fisherman's Wharf<br /><br />Sausalito/ San Rafeal<br />--Mt. Tamapalais/ Muir Woods<br />--Fresh Oysters<br /><br />Stinson Beach<br /><br />Point Reyes Stations<br />--Simply Beautiful<br /><br />From here you can either continue up the coast to Bodega Bay (see where the birds was filmed) and Mendocino (drive thru a redwood tree)...or you can swing over to the 101 and go wine tasting in the Napa Valley. And better yet you can come visit ME. [I'll let you pet a cheetah ;)]<br /><br />Happy driving, safe travels and happy birthday.freespiritdvmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598640332755664383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21898945.post-61257820983470589902009-12-07T01:40:28.809-08:002009-12-07T01:40:28.809-08:00With a trip length of 3-5 days you could drive to ...With a trip length of 3-5 days you could drive to anywhere between here and the Missippippi. You'd want to keep to Southern locations with low altitude unless you don't mind the snow and putting chains on. Route 66 I hear is some historic driving. You could recreate the itinerary of the movie "Roadtrip." I wonder where Mt. Rushmore is? Grand Canyon is an option. Corpus Christy (?) in Texas maybe? Anywhere that you don't have to cross the Rockies, I suppose. Canada's out. Oregon's out - chain requirements. Mexico's out - civil war. Pretty much leaves Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06054699996982724058noreply@blogger.com
