Californian trip
Discussion
Hd to adjust my last hurrah trip, so have finalised on this, hopefully.
Spend a day in SFO doing the cable car/streetcar/trolleybus systems in full. Then to Sacramento for the rail museum.
This is the bit i need some gen on. From there would like to go and see the big trees ( best national park for these?) then across and do the big sur back to SFO and have a look in Carmel ( has anyone got Doris Days address????) ;-)
so how long would the driving times be doing that. and best stopping places. I notice that the cost of motels are astronomical these days according to Travel advisor over 100 dollars a night!!!

We did a road trip in CA a couple of years ago. you could drive from SF to LA in a day with no real stopping so work from there based on where you want to visit and how long you want to visit for.
Other than a few nights in SF and a few in Vegas, we booked all our hotels as we arrived at places. it became like a ritual, pull into a town where we'd like to stay and find the closest place with free wifi to search on booking.com - will be honest, we got some great places cheap, and some not so great places.

Have hit a slight problem with a bed for the night. The Airbnb site has come up trumps 100%
Situation is this flying from Washington DC to SFO and arriving at midnight, by the time i get the car organised it is going to be about one ish. Too late to rock up at a b+b and paying silly money for a few hours kips in a motel doesnt really appeal to my wallet. So would the hire company take a dim view if i stayed in their car park and got my head down for a few hours?
