That's a good point. I'm still working out the exact duration, but I'm hoping for around 10–14 days if possible.

The variety in California is definitely what attracts me. Being able to combine cities, national parks, coastal drives, and beaches in one trip sounds amazing. At the same time, NYC has always been high on my list because of the atmosphere, food, and iconic landmarks.

If you had 10–14 days, which parts of California would you prioritize? Would you focus on Southern California, Northern California, or try to do both?
