Here you are. One better than a returned tweet.  Enjoy.....

Did someone say "Roadtrip"?

San Francisco.

I’m not going to get into details about the places along the way,

you should look them up and see for yourself

that I’m steering you in the right direction….

Shall we ride?

Los Angeles to Santa Barbara

101 to Santa Barbara, it's a short drive,

Stop there, shop around have lunch… 

Shop downtown,  

It’s nice for the day.

 

If sleeping over don't stay in Santa Barbara,

ALL the hotels  there are shit!

 except for:

The Four Seasons

and

The Inn of the Spanish Garden. 

BUT Instead I.....

Go up 101, (just past Sandpiper Golf Course)

to 

The Baraca Resort

http://www.bacararesort.com/

Have dinner, enjoy the beach at night…. And very, very NICE rooms.

(I highly recommend....)

Next take the 1 (not 101) to Pismo beach… during the day.

See the dunes…  Maybe take a Dune Buggy tour… Fun.

Hitup

San Luis Obispo

by Lunch…

Make it Quick... Not much going on there.... 

If you've got loot and WANT to stay there tho...

Dolphin Bay

Afterwards get back on 101 Enjoy rather long ride up 

the scenic El Camino Real

(still the 101)

Bring Music….. Make playlist of traveling songs…

 

Get to Salinas, Exit 101 get on 68 heading to:

Monterey, once there

find wine… FINE wine..

 Lots. 

Do some whale watching..

really very cool when you see one.

 

Have excellent foods and find a nice Bed and Breakfast.

See Yelp for that. 

There are a LOT of options.

Next day, get back on the 1 (not the 101) and head to

Santa Cruz.

Get some weed.
(Let me know if you need a hook up.)

 keep it moving...

From there take the 17 to the 85 to the 280 and viola!

San Francisco!!

So much to do there can’t be listed.

 

But do try to get in at  

Chez Panisse Restaurant
