It takes about 1.5-2 hours longer than the 5, but you get scenery like Big Sur and the Pacific Ocean, as opposed to smelly dairy farms.
Personally I'd skip the tourist spots like Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, and opt to appreciate a city the way the locals would. Thats how I like to travel.  |
I was very impressed with Monterrey Bay.
yeh, I'm more of the square tourist you see with maps and "i love NY" t-shirts walking around lol
actually we always try to hit up tourist spots, and local spots equally as long as there are good eats involved
btw recently went to Chicago and had the best hotdog in my life, have heard stories of Chicago-style, but didnt think you could really screw up hotdog, boy I was wrong!
