planning a trip to L A and San Francisco whats the best way to travel between the 2 cities and how far?

you could try driving up the coastal route, which has some spectacular scenery. (Try visiting San Simeon, for instance)

Saint Simeon, Big Sur, Carmel (Pebble Beach), the Monterrey Peninsular and its Aquarium (whales blowing offshore), Half Moon Bay, The Redwood Forests, ..... plenty to see - how long is a piece of string

Napenthe Restaurant at Big Sur (more for the views) - and just under it, on the bend, is a small cafe that does the most amazing Eggs "Benedict" - muffin, spinach, thick steak tomatoes and a fab Hollandaise.

the Coastal Drive at Pebble Beach (9 mile Drive I think it is called is amazing to see the huge houses and spectacular views - it does cost something. You can lose 1/2 a day/day in Carmel with the shopping and the Golf (more shopping)...full of small shops and cafes.

Plenty of places to stay - depends on your budget.

Ha - I had a colleague who once tried to fly to Monterey in California, DT - and was startled to find himself landing in Monterrey, Mexico. He blamed his secretary, as one does.

If you don't want to drive there is an amazing train ride along the coast
