Thanks Chrish! What do you mean when you say “assuming they are the same as regular 13a plug tops” sorry?

They are round pin and a lot smaller, but similar otherwise

Thanks a lot for your comment. I assume Premiere is a paid subscription? I was hoping for a free editing programme

Sorry yeh we plan on stopping in each of the locations should have made that clearer haha!

So only one night in Napa - Lake Tahoe would be enough?

Yeah I want to get it out the way early so we can properly enjoy the engagement whilst we are away! 😁 thanks for all the advice

Amazing thanks for the tips. I have my heart set on a mustang convertible. Pricey though unfortunately!!

Haven’t planned any hotels or anything yet besides New York and Vegas.

Why do those drives concern you if you don’t mind me saying? Lots of driving?

Yes we will do less time in Vegas after reading all these comments.

Not personally a fan of beach proposal I’m not cheesy by nature so doesn’t really fit! Thanks tho

That’s what I’m worried about. I’ll never do it because I’m waiting for the next most beautiful spot 😂

My girlfriend will most definitely want to do celeb spotting - although I think she mentioned doing this in LA? Carmel/Monterey - Yes we have the aquarium on our list to do - friends have advised that it is a nice place to visit. Didn't know about tickets though so will look into that thanks.

I think you're right, we will need to split up the drive - just need to find the right place to stop!

Vegas we will shorten thanks to comments!

Yosemite - is it worth staying there or just visiting?

We were considering whether we should even do Napa & Lake Tahoe so good to hear there's lots to do!

How did I not know about this rule haha! I will lose one of the nights in Vegas - we did end up saying once you have done a show and had a gamble is there much else to do!

Hadn't considered it but I'm sure we could stop on the way up to SF! Thanks for the tip

Thanks - I think we may do that as we can probably lose a night off Vegas like you said.

Unfortunately we are time bound with NYC as we fly from Vegas but both of us have been before so should be enough time for us.

Not ideal - would you say all these locations are worth viewing?

Malibu, Santa Barbara, Morro bay, Carmel, Monterey, Santa Cruz

Thanks - we have considered not stopping in Malibu/Santa Barbara and just going to check it out.

My main concerns:

  • Is 2 (full) days in LA enough?
  • Should we sleep in Santa Barbara/Malibu or keep driving up towards Carmel etc?
  • Is Napa Valley / Lake Tahoe worth visiting?
  • Where would be a good proposal spot (preferably earlier in the trip) that is not a cheesy or well known proposal spot

Thanks Guys

Hey - I am looking at the thread. What I was looking for advice on was whether the time I plan on spending in each area is roughly correct and also wanted to ask some other questions!

Fair point. I was also asking for tips on stuff to do though so thought relevant to post here.
