    • SF to Monterey Day Trip

      San Francisco May 20, 2013 at 11:18 AM

      I'd like to do this as a day trip. I did consider spending the night, but our accommodations for the week are already paid for as a weeky rate.

      I'm thinking of taking Hwy 1 down and Hwy 101 back. I don't care to spend a really long time on Hwy 1, but would like to see some of the coast. At which point would you suggest picking up Hwy 1?

      And would you take Hwy 68 to Salinas to access Hwy 101 when it is time to head back to SF?

      I did read that Big Sur had wonderful views, but with only one day allocated to this, I don't think that is possible.
      I'm traveling with my husband and older kids (26-16). We don't plan to stop in Santa Cruz to see the boardwalk entertainment.

      I'd appreciate any opinions you might have. Thanks!

    • Taxi Driver

      Los Angeles May 28, 2013 at 7:09 PM

      Taxi driver offers to pick us up at the Getty Villa after our visit, but arrives in 'his own car.'
      We are two elderly Australians, traveled to USA for conference and visited New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco and Los Angeles. Last day of our trip and wanted to see Getty. Took a Yellow Cab outside Hilton LAX and very friendly driver. Offers to leave us at Malibu for lunch, pick us up, take us to Getty. Offers to take us to Hilton LAX at Getty Villa closing time.
      Driver greets us in own car and against my own code, we got in. Deadlatched the doors, offered to take us the scenic route to hotel with a charge of US$45. I felt uneasy and feigned an upset stomach - threatened possible 'throw-up'. After that he drove us to the hotel, quick smart.
      We are puzzled...and feeling foolish. Has this happened to anyone else travelling or living in LA? Was this driver a genuine good Samaritan, or was he scamming? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

      How long (a) to (b) in Los Angeles/Freeway or other roads best?

      Los Angeles May 20, 2013 at 5:50 AM

      Hi
      We are visiting in June, staying in Eagle Rock and have the following on our hitlist - Santa Monica, Getty Center, Griffith Observatory and main Hollywood sights. We will have our own car but only two full days and I am worried that getting from A to B will take a lot of time as it did on one past visit. Not sure either how to group these attractions geopgraphically and split across the two days. My questions are these:
      When are LA peak hour(s) for traffic and yeah, I know it is pretty busy all the time?
      Are we better generally using the I and Freeways to get across the city or might other routes be less busy?
      If travelling from Getty Center to Griffith Observ. Is it worth going north up 405 and peeling off on Mulholland and driving east at least as far as Laurel Canyon and dropping down on to Franklin or Hollywood Blvds, I am thinking in terms of views/more interest or will this just take forever (Google maps suggests going north and east on the 101). We want some of the journeying to be interesting if possible but Mulholland possibly aside, our main concern is to get from a to b wasting as little time as possible.

      California Jun 4, 2013 at 9:55 PM

      Hi,
      We're planning a trip to California in July next year with our 7-year old son. Détails are a bit sketchy at the moment but the idea is to fly to Los Angeles, visit Disneyland (maybe get a combined hotel/entry ticket deal?), maybe see Hollywood (not sure), then to fly or take the train to Las Vegas, visit Grand Canyon/the Hoover Dam, then to spend a few days in San Francisco, including a two-day trip with a local travel company to Yosemite.
      I'd be interested in any tips you might have on things to see, places to stay, things to do or not to do...
      Thanks very much
