Hey Monica! Looking forward to meeting you. Pencil breakfast at Zazie's while you're here. We'll get some gingerbead pancakes.
F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
My buddy K and I are looking into doing a road trip at the end of July - Denver to Vegas to LA up the coast to SF, day tripping to the vineyards and hopefully an A's game, then over to South Lake Tahoe and back to Denver. That is about 46 hours of driving over maybe 9 days. Are we nuts?
That sounds pretty doable, Suzi.
We are trying to coordinate it so that we are in SF at my dad's for a few days. Hotel night in Vegas, maybe something up the coast of CA, then dad's, then a place or two on the way home. K has never been to CA. She wants to see the Hollywood sign, I want to take her to Santa Cruz, and then show off the bay area.
Sounds like fun, Suzi.
That sounds like a car trip planned by my father. Or, you know, me on a day I'm feeling very restless. That is, awesome, but a little crazy.
With 2 drivers, driving-wise it's not too bad, but actually stopping and doing things, I'd say that will be very tight, especially for the LV to SF portion if you are talking about the coast. Maybe plan on a night just north of LA, then one around Santa Cruz?
For something to do between LA & SF, might I suggest Hearst Castle [link]
He built it as a rest point between the two cities for his rich friends. Now it's a national landmark. I haven't been yet myself, but I hear it is lovely!
And hey, if your a baseball fan, what about Dodgers or Angels baseball in SoCal?
Hearst Castle is a great idea. A's ball is definitely on the schedule.
You make me feel like a slacker, Suzi. I'm arriving in Houston on a Sunday night and don't have to be in New Orleans until Friday night.
When are you coming, Lee?
