shimon/travel/Cali roadtrip 2005


On Sunday afternoon, I returned to Boston after a fun week of roadtripping in California. While the nature and climate in California were stunning, and I had a great time, I did miss Boston: my friends, my routine, my work, and the preponderance of type-A personalities that allows me to indulge my impatient and confrontational sides.

A more detailed, day-by-day recap of my trip is under development and will be posted soon.

Next week, I'll be taking a roadtrip in California (after a friend's wedding in Kansas). I need your advice on people to visit and places to see! My friend and I are still quite flexible in our travel plans.

Currently the approximate plan is this:

Sun 7/24: arrive in San Diego

Mon 7/25: San Diego beaches, zoo??

Tue 7/26: drive to San Francisco

Wed 7/27: hang out in SF with Coleman, Jesse

Thu 7/28: more SF: the city, or some Silicon valley, or beaches, Monterey Aquarium, museuems, etc.

Fri 7/29: down to LA; see Jenny in Pasadena and Beth in Santa Monica

Sat 7/30: LA; drive back to SD

Sun 7/31: catch 7:45am flight back to Boston

Offers
of places to sleep and specific non-city things to do along the way
(Napa Valley is intriguing) are especially appreciated. I'd also like to meet some interesting new people, especially some Silicon Valley types who could help me figure out whether or not a geek like me should be living there instead of Boston.
