This is a follow up thread from my previous 'please help me plan my 10 day action packed road trip.'

Please may I have your honest views on how this itinerary would work out, as well as possible stay over places for the nights. We are on a tight budget and would much appreciate cheap accomodation ideas (we do have the car to stay in if advised??!!??)

Day 1: Travel up the PCH to stay at Big Sur over night.
Day 2: Travel early to SF and stay over night.
Day 3: Leave early to Yosemite and stay over night.
Day 4: Spend another day at Yosemite and leave for Death Valley early evening.
Day 5: Spend the day at Death Valley then leave for Barstow for evening.
Day 6: Leave Barstow early morning and spend day and night at Joshua Tree.
Day 7: Leave Joshua Tree early and spend the day and night at San Diego.
Day 8: Spend the day and night at San Diego (surfing).
Day 9: Arranged Excursion to Mexico. Leave for long beach early evening and stay.
Day 10: Spend the day and night at surrounding beaches.
Day 11: Travel back to LAX for flight to Maui!!

Thanks guys, would welcome any feedback possible!!
