My husband and I are planning a 12-night trip to California this summer and we need some help working out our itinerary. So far we've got flights booked in to SF and out of LA, and we bought 4 day Disneyland tickets. I'd love to hear opinions/suggestions on how much time to spend at each location and must see stops along the way! Here's what we are thinking so far:
2ish days in SF (Alcatraz, Bay Bridge, Walt Disney Museum, etc)
Afternoon/evening in Santa Rosa (Russian River Brewery is a must for my husband!)
1 day in Napa
2 or 3 days driving down the coast (Monterey, Big Sur, San Luis Obispo, Hearst Castle, Solvang, Santa Barbara)...This is where we need some pointers Not too sure where we should plan to stop along the way and where to look for hotels. Also I read on the boards that part of Hwy 1 is closed so I'm not sure how that affects our route...
Another possibility we were looking into is going from Napa to Yosemite for a night before driving down the coast. Is it worth the 4 hour drive each way if we'll only be there for about a day?
2 days in LA (Santa Monica, Venice, Hollywood, Griffith Park, La Brea tar pits?)
3 days in Disneyland! We have 4 day hoppers so will probably use our first "day" on the night we drive to Anaheim from LA
We were also hoping to go to Universal or Knott's Berry Farm but it's not looking like we'll be able to fit it in. Do you think we could shift anything to make it work?
Is what we have doable or are we trying to cram too much in? Any tips would be awesome, thanks!!!
