My girlfriend and I are currently planning a roadtrip for September 2005. We are from the UK and are flying into San Francisco and flying out 2 weeks later. We plan to hire a car for the 2 week trip. Our rough itinarary is this:

Day 1: Arrive San Fran

Day 2: San Fran (sight seeing)

Day 3 and 4: Drive down coast to LA (stop off on route)

Day 5: Sight seeing LA

Day 6: Drive to San Diego (visit friend)

Day 7: Drive to Vegas

Day 8: Helicopter trip to Grand Canyon

Day 9: Vegas

Day 10: Drive to Yosemite

Day 11: Yosemite/Lake Tahoe

Day 12: Lake Tahoe

Day 13: Lake Tahoe

Day 14: Drive to San Fran



What we want to know:
1. Is this do-able? Is there too much driving?

2. Where is a good place to stop off and stay the night on
coastal drive to LA?

3. How much is the helicopter trip to Grand Canyon? Is it worth it?

4. Have we missed anything that we should definitely see?

5. What are the best routes to take between stop-offs?


Any help and advice greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you

Steve
