San Franco to Vegas to san diego back to San fransico
Hi,
Me and my boyfriend are in the very early stages of planning a 3 week end of July- aug trip, going from San fransico to Vegas to San Diego back to San fransico. So far we know we want to spend a few days in San fransico then drive to Vegas. I'm liking the sound of stopping in Yosemite for a night then Death Valley before hitting Vegas for a few nights. From there, I know I want to go to Grand Canyon then San Diego. What's the best way to do that? I want to stay in San Diego for a few night then head back to San fransico along the coast maybe stop in L.a. We know the main places we want to go, but struggling with a route and what to see in between. Any advice is much appreciated.
San Fran- Vegas-san Diego-San fran
Hi,
I am planning a 18 day road trip next summer, since my last post I have more of an itinerary:
Day1-3 arrive in San Fran- explore, rent bikes, alcatrez
Day 4 leave early and travel to Yosemite stay for 2 nights
Day 6 head towards bishop for a stop over
Day 7 visit Death Valley and head to Vegas stay for 3 nights, grab a show, explore and prob gamble some quarters!
Day10 head to Grand Canyon via Hoover Dan stay the night.
Day 11.... That's where I'm stuck. I want to head to San Diego. However I know this is a long drive and after a 5 hr journey the day before I don't want to do it all in one day, but where to stop? I feel Phoenix still leaves a hefty distance to drive the next to San Diego as am only staying 2 nights there so want get there midday ish on day 12 and only want to be driving 2/3 hours I the morning
I'm happy to drive 5/6 hours on day 11- leaving Grand Canyon mid-afternoon and arriving at the stop dinner time ish? I've looked at a small town called Blythe, does this sound reasonable? Any ideas are more than welcome.
Day 12-13 San Diego, visit sea world and explore.
Day14-17- make way back up to San Fran.... Where to go?? I think I want to relax a little bit, maybe a theme park, sunbathe? I want to be back in San Fran evening of day 17 to return hire car and spend a last night in San Fran, ready for my flight on day18.
Any ideas to fill in the blanks are welcome as are any ideas of what to see in places. Thanks in advance:)
