California

[minestrone]

Hawthorne will be visited just to see this...




They flattened the Beach Boys house for a freeway. Probably get run down by a 'little deuce coupe' trying to stand in the place Brian wrote 'In my Room'.

We skipped Napa in favour of Sonoma, which is a lovely little town and less touristy.

Yosemite is wonderful despite being touristy, any of the Redwood forests in northern California are worth visiting. The drive up Hwy1 is wonderful. Venice Beach is worth a visit if you are in the south, very eclectic.
Berkeley and/or Stanford universities are interesting to walk around.

fair enough

If you can, try and do San Diego, absolutely top night, really friendly locals. Stopped there for two days on route to Vegas. I'd have skipped Vegas and went back to SD, unfortunately the lads were more interested in the poker.

3 week holiday planned and want to tour California in a car, highway 1 mostly.

Have Big Sur planned and a pilgrimage to Hawthorne.

Suggestions of not to be missed places and places to stay are welcome.

Cheers.

Me and my brother did this last year, highway 1 was epic. We only booked flights and car, everything else we booked on the fly (mostly sat in a starbuck booking hotels anywhere we liked the look of). Depends what you're after, plenty of quaint beach towns but we were after night life...Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, LA etc. Big Sur, bixby bridge (and other attractions I can't remember right now) were great.

We ended up going across to Vegas in the last few days after LA had done its damage...
