Planning a west coast USA trip - any advice/help?

[Unlight]

Hi all,

I'm planning on doing the USA west coast road trip next August, I was wondering if anyone could offer advice on the logistics/how long to stay in each place?

At the moment I'm looking at flying into San Diego, with the following stops :

San Diego
Los Angeles
Santa Barbara
San Francisco
Yosemite
Death Valley
Las Vegas

Would this be too much for 14 nights away? Any advice appreciated! If anyone knows of any good online resources for this sort of thing I'd love to hear about them.

Had a look at that thread, thanks. Was wondering if I'm trying to fit too much into the trip, or whether it would be worth adding on a few extra days.

Right, need to get this trip booked asap - any thoughts on the following plan?

Flying into LAX :


1 night Anaheim Hills

1 night Palm Springs

3 nights Vegas

1 night Death Valley

2 nights Yosemite

3 nights San Francisco

2 nights Monterey

1 night Morro Bay

3 nights LA


Sound ok for a first time road tripper?
