Road Trip

sunshine&rainbows · ‎06-06-2015

Planning a trip from the San Jose CA, heading up North to the Redwood National State Parks 101 North to Oregon. In no particular order, these are the places we will be visiting.

I want to take my husband through, Fairfield (Sears Raceway) on up through Lake County on up to Eureka and back down the coast hwy through San Mateo, Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino, Humboldt, Del Norte, Monterey Bay.

Visiting family on the way that live in Stanislaus, Alameda County, Sonoma County, Mendocino County, Humboldt, and Shasta County.

It is in celebration of my husbands retirement! : ) Our first big road trip together.

@qualitygal

Thank you!

I have a fear of flying, that will be the hard part of the trip!!! 51/2 hours over the ocean!

I'm that way too, I use to try to hold my breath over bridges. I try to avoid bridges over water. I think it's a balance thing.

Braclets have a way of making me feel balanced, so maybe you need to do some shopping. LOL. I use any reason I can. LOL

I will drive miles to avoid the Broadway tunnel in SF..................(although I rode the subway when I lived in Chicago years ago)

@qualitygal, what about the bridges around St. Petersburg Florida? they featured them on the movie "True Lies" where Jamie Lee Curtis is in a runaway limo on that long stretch of bridge and goes from hitting one side of guard rails to the other.

@Deb1010yetagain, a few years back we visited my B&SIL at their place in Fla. on our way to Disney, and they took us over one heck of a long bridge, it was beautiful. Gave up breath holding on that too, plus the one that crosses lower and upper MI. Now that one was scarier to me.

I am familiar with the Oakland Bay Bridge and San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge.

I do get nervous on the Bay Bridge because of earthquakes!

They built a whole new section of the bay bridge that is suppose to withstand any earthquake. It opened in late 2013.

Your trip sounds wonderful. You will see some beautiful country!

ETA: I hope you get a chance to go to the Monterey Bay aquarium. It is really great.

Note: Sears Point Race way is not in Fairfield and it has a new name Also, if you're going to Monterey, be sure to continue down Highway 1 for several miles and take the Ocean Avenue exit for a visit to Carmel.
