Vacation Countdown...

Starting my vacation in one hour. Gone for a week and a half, with no solid plans other than tomorrow (when I somewhat miraculously reach the ripe old age of 35).

With no real agenda for my time off and weather that seems to be cooperating, I think it’s going to be a fine time to take the Corvette over to Marin county, and enjoy the Pacific Coast Highway.

Yeah...that’ll do.

Or maybe a loop around Lake Tahoe...

Vrooooom...

Meanwhile, I lack the motivation to do anything . Even sitting at my desk feels exhausting. I just want to be home with an open beer in one hand, a whiskey sour in the other, and 11 days of absolutely nothing essential to look forward to.

For your time, a very angry deTomaso Pantera!

Rawr!

Now, you all behave yourselves while I’m gone!

Or not. Who cares, I’ll be on vacation.

Mmm... Go north on PCH until you run out of CA, then go north on that same road until you run out of Oregon. Head east and join us for a cruise on Saturday. ;)

If you actually do this, I’ll be so jealous. I love that drive/route.

Just checked Google Maps. It’s almost exactly 1,000 miles (and a little over 20 hours if I don’t stop for food, pee breaks, or rest). Considering I plan on celebrating my birthday tomorrow with excessive sufficient amounts of alcohol, I’m going to go out on a limb and say you can put me down as a “doubtful” for Saturday.

With slightly better planning on my part though, it would have been amazing.

You’re further down than I thought... I was envisioning Marin to Astoria, then over, which I think is something like 800 miles. It’s a lot faster on I-5, but nowhere near as scenic/fun.

There are so many great roads up there in NorCal and the central coast, especially along the coast and roads that cross the coast range.

Yeah, I’m in the Sacramento valley, about 2 hours from Marin right off the bat.
