[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived up and down the west coast for ~20 years. Let me plan this trip for you: Fly into Seattle and stay a few days; it's a really fun town, especially in the summer. Tour U-Dub. Then hop on I-5 (which, before becoming acquainted with 95, I thought was a miserable road). Tour UPS in Tacoma. Spend a night there if you want or just continue down to Portland. Spend a couple of days in Portland (also a great summertime town) and tour Reed and Lewis & Clark. Back on I-5. Tour Willamette in Salem and then continue to Corvallis for the overnight. Tour OSU and then head to Eugene for the overnight. Tour U of O and then break to the coast. Due west of Eugene is Florence, which is a fine coastal town, but ~45 minutes north of Florence is Newport, which is the coolest town on the Oregon Coast, especially for anyone into marine science--if you have the time, spend a little there. Then enjoy the drive down 101. Golf in Bandon if you're into that. Definitely spend a day in the Redwood National and State Parks. Continue down Highway 1 to SF. Spend a couple of days there. Check out Berkeley and Stanford, but don't fall in love. Check out Santa Clara if you're into that. Then make your way to UCSC, which is a gorgeous and wildly underrated university where OOS kids actually get admitted. Continue down 1 to San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly-SLO. Then USCB. Then whatever strikes your fancy in metro LA. Then UCSD and USD and maybe San Diego State. Maybe then break east and check out ASU and/or Arizona, or maybe just fly home. (Arizona is an underrated, fun, and accessible school; ASU has more than its fair share of knuckleheads but its honors college is truly fantastic.)[/quote]

DP I made this trip many years ago. You will need about 2 weeks if driving.[/quote]
