Fly into Vegas. Visit Grand Canyon & Zion.
Or do French Canada. |
This. I wonder if most posters don’t travel for work? I mean, the dozen+ times I’ve flown to SD/SF/LA for meetings or conferences have typically entailed an early morning flight from DC and 3-5 nights at a hotel. No jet lag; just early starts in terms of waking up naturally due to my inner east coast clock—which makes it easy to enjoy a very full day. Similarly, I’ve needed to be in London or Paris for short stints on business. It’s NBD. |
Chicago.
Tour Boston so it's not just staying in the city but explore the NE area for a few days. I personally would not do CA in 6 days and going west as it's a longer flight. I like more time in CA to see different places personally. However we really really loved Santa Fe. And no, it's great weather ![]() ![]() |
Yes to California. No to drive up the coast. I agree with the poster who recommended picking a segment. Choose between San Francisco, Los Angeles, or San Diego and pick activities within that radius (Sonoma, Muir Woods, Santa Barbara, Channel Islands, Catalina, etc).
It’s about 6 hours between San Francisco and LA, and that’s not the scenic route, so you don’t want to have a trip that’s basically half travel days and half vacation days. We actually did this trip when I was in high school and it was a lot of fun, but we did it in 10 days, I think. |
Fly to Quebec, spend a few days there, and then drive to Tadoussac for whale watching. The scenic route along the St Lawrence River is beautiful, with lots of great little stops/sights along the way. We went with teens and they liked it so much they asked to go again a few years later. |
