HI all,


Just registered to your wonderfull forum, read many notes on Las Vegas and L.A and decided to post my own since i have a question about two possible ways i can go.

Anyways i am flying in to Las Vegas, picking up my car. I have 7 days. Flying out from Las Vegas so decided to keep it for the last since i have to return to the city anyways.
My original idea was driving to L.A. While there visiting Santa Barbara, then driving south to San Diego with possibility of a day tour in Tijuana. After that i wanted to visit Death Valley. After viewing maps i get stuck with two other possible routes, driving to San Diego first and then working my self up to L.A - Santa - Barbara - Death Valley and returning to Las Vegas or hitting Death Valley first and then working my way down Santa Barbara - L.A and San Diego.

Like i mentioned i dont have detailed map yet in front of me, just wanted to hear some ideas from those who've done it. My main concern is visiting above named places without being all over the map, driving south and north.

Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
