  Katherine Lee, Somebody wa pulling your leg when they told you that
there's no real coastal driveing in cal. just get on H 1 and see for
your self . Drive to Santa Cruz then go East to get a taste of Yosemite
Have a good time.

You are right.. Hwy 1 is one of the most beautiful coastal route in North America but whoever gave the advise to Katherine must be either prone to car sick or acrophobic...  I made the mistake of taking kids and a dog on the route none of whom did well on windy roads.  And the road has no shoulders to pull over ..so we made do with grocery bags .. a car sick retriever is a very ugly sight.. it was an awful and awesome experience!!  We made the trip again this last summer with the kids grown up a bit and sans dog and it was a wonderful drive!
