This is a trip my buddy and I took when we were 20.
Calgary --> Las Vegas (20hrs straight driving. Stops in Montana, Salt Lake City, Beaver UT -- it smelled bad there... i kid you not.)
Stayed in Vegas for 3 days.
Vegas to Oceanside / Carlsbad, CA
Stayed here for 4 days. From here, we went on a fishing boat, went down to San Diego, and Tijuana. You can drop your car off in Cali, and walk over the border.
Oceanside to Los Angeles
Stayed here for 5 days. We had tickets to "The Price is Right" but Bob Barker was hospitalized the day of the show! BAH!!! So we went to a talk show instead. We also did all the touristy things here, 6 flags, went to some clubs and saw Star Gunn (Shooter Jenning's old rock band. F'in awesome.)
Los Angeles to San Francisco
Stayed for about 4 days. Did Alcatraz, went to the piers, bridge etc.
San Francisco to Seattle / Gig Harbour
Met his fling who we had met in Mexico the year before. Stayed at her house for a few days. Went into Seattle on the Ferry. Pretty cool.
Then we went home from there. Took about 19 days. Brilliant. Only bad thing was I lost my debit card in Oceanside. We got in a crazy cat-and-mouse game with some farm chicks in Oregon on the way to Washington...
and friggin superstore ruined all my film.
Good times.
