Hold on to your hats, our latest road trip recap posts begin today! Here s how it s going to go down I am going to break up each post by day (10 in all) which conveniently enough is also by location. That way they will be easy to look up or reference back to later. I will post once, maybe twice, per day for the next two weeks to get them all in. Enjoy!
To recap, we drove 1,840 miles from San Diego, California to Portland, Oregon. Just two states but we covered such a significant part of the west coast which included over five national parks, three breweries, three factory tours, a visit to one of the best restaurants in the world, and countless other amazing things along the way. As you can see we avoided Los Angeles and the coast, which was done on purpose to diversify our California car rental cancun mexico experience. Check out our route:
Our journey began in Boston, obviously. A 5am bleary eyed cab ride brought us to Logan Airport where it finally set in vacation! Our prior two road trips began in Massachusetts but this one felt different right away because we weren t hitting the road from our house. The flight was quick thanks to JetBlue making a 6 hour flight as comfortable as possible car rental cancun mexico (read: tv and snacks). We got to San Diego at 11AM PST and, after a tiny bit of confusion, picked up our rental car. Now it felt like a road trip!
The Visitors Center and Museum gave a good history lesson on the area. Juan Cabrillo, the first European to step foot on the west coast, landed at this spot in 1542 and began to explore what is now California. It was made a national monument to Cabrillo in 1913.
The drive to Cabrillo takes you through Point Loma which is home to several military installations including the Point Loma Naval Base (which is HUGE). The area is gorgeous and climbs up through the hills until you get to the monument and this view overlooking the San Diego Bay and San Diego:
Hotel Del is a beachfront car rental cancun mexico luxury resort that opened in 1888. It has hosted presidents, royalty, car rental cancun mexico and celebrities, and has been named one of the best resorts in the world over and over again. Some Like It Hot was filmed here and it is also said that L. Frank Baum based his design for the Emerald car rental cancun mexico City from the Wizard of Oz on the hotel.
Smores on the beach!! Hotel Del offers all these amazing little add-ons when you stay there so John booked the Smores on the Beach package for us. Sweet, right? They set you up with a fire pit, chairs, and smores ingredients car rental cancun mexico and let you hang out for two hours. We watched the sun set and the lights on the Del come up. It was super romantic and the perfect car rental cancun mexico way to end our first day of vacation.
