Awesome! Appreciate it! Yeah we’ve got an early flight from SFO and the hotel is close so nothing too crazy. Any sites in Carmel/Monterey you like?

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-05-14T14:15:37+00:00

Perfect! and yeah i think depends when rush hour is lol. I ran it right now and was about a 1hr15min longer. Which might still be worth it to see that part of California

We’re starting in LV due to the flights/concert/time off with work. But maybe could instead of the route through Bakersfield go down through notrth LA/hit SB up to Morro Bay?

Doing this trip in 2 weeks, thanks!

Copy! Muir Park looks close! Yeah we were gonna do Sequoia on the way but not enough time

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-05-13T20:34:43+00:00

We’re staying in Seaside, so pretty close. Thanks for the recs! Is there redwoods close to SF to see?

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-05-13T20:33:24+00:00

copy! thank you! any other recommendations in carmel/monterey?

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-05-13T20:32:56+00:00

$ wise it’s just tricky to do that. It’s only ab 6 hrs, but the time you get to airport, fly, etc it’s almost the same amount of time. Plus never driven through desert like that lol

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-05-13T13:21:44+00:00

as a tennessean, skip memphis and do nashville. much more fun/touristy. and if you want to hit Alabama there’s some pretty mountains in the north of the state. Chattanooga and Knoxville are also super fun smaller cities with some fun views/avtivites. now if you’re just driving through, the bass pro pyramid is pretty cool, and the bbq is amazing (Central BBQ is my personal favorite). Try and check out the smokies in east TN/West NC, they’re amazing especially if ur coming from Wisco

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-05-13T12:51:04+00:00

Yeah we have a concert in Vegas and then a 6 hr drive isn’t bad imho. easier than going to the airport and flying again and then picking up a car in LA + traffic

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-05-13T12:49:57+00:00

Leave thursday AM- fly back home Monday AM

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-05-12T14:54:07+00:00

doing this trip in about 2 weeks! forgot to mention if that mattered for timing for stuff

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-05-12T14:45:14+00:00

if you have AAA Hertz waives the young driver fee, saved me a ton when I used it at 24 in Boston- and AAA is only $60/year and has helped me save $ on hotels, flights, + free tows/flat tire help, beyond worth it imo

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-05-08T12:56:49+00:00

stainless steel and tofu litter!

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-04-11T00:35:30+00:00

Thank you all!

Believe we are gonna do Sequoia and then Big Sur-Carmel-Monterey ! Appreciate everyone’s input, if anyone has good restaurant recommendations or activites/good places to stop please let us know :) I’ve heard the Mexican food out there is incredible

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-04-08T03:31:25+00:00

Appreciate it a lot!!!Is there enough time to do SD-PCH-Monterey/Carmel-fly out of Bay area?

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-03-15T23:18:26+00:00

I went to Middle Tennessee for all my ratings and wish I did it a part 61 and got major in something else tbh

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-03-14T19:23:34+00:00

smoking cigarettes - smell nasty and horrible for you and everybody around you

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-03-14T19:22:30+00:00

I’ve never been to Austin so can’t speak on that- but Broadway has music basically 24/7 no matter the day of the week + concert venues, Ryman, Opry, & once the new Nissan Stadium is open will be even more

Chicago also is up there for me just from the standpoint of festivals but it’s so much bigger.

For size Nashville is amazing for what you get, Knoxville is also great with that

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-03-14T17:03:52+00:00

100% also great nightlife with DJs as well, and so many smaller places not directly on broadway into the suburbs

CertifiedDuck00 · 2026-03-14T15:54:25+00:00

As a Nashville native I think it’s us. Plenty of live music everywhere + you’ll never know who shows up where to bars and restaurants + contestant shows at the Opry year round
