What do you think about this travel? - Los Angeles - Monterey - San Francisco The "Don't-miss SIGHTS in San Francisco" page http://geocities.com/touringsfo/Articles/Sights.html has enough to keep you busy for nine 12.7-hour days. It includes links to your best sources of advice on WHERE TO EAT and, according to the Department of Health, WHERE TO NOT EAT here, the UseNet Group ba.food, and the quite-good sfSurvey/Tastyr and the comprehensive Yelp. It also has a WEATHER CHART with a link to current conditions. - Yosemite Driving Directions with links to relevant maps and URLs of places passed through: San Francisco to Pacifica-Half Moon Bay-Santa Cruz-Monterey/Carmel, Big Sur, San LuÃ*s Obispo, Yosemite, Death Valley, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Diego http://geocities.com/touringsfo/Articles/DriveDir.html - Fresno - Las Vegas Here's "A bit of non-gambling Las Vegas" with about a dozen useful links: http://geocities.com/iconoc/Articles/LasVegas.html My favorite hap'nin's the The Huck Daniel Revue and Blues Jam in the Stratosphere's Images Lounge, Mondays at 22:00. It's a blast that's been happening since 1988, at the Stratosphere since 2001. Huck Daniel's Celebrity Jam in the Armadillo Club at Texas Station, Saturdays at 21:00. Good floor, few dancers. A terrific 17-piece band plays at the Italian-American Social Club, on Sahara just past Eastern, Thursdays at 20:30. Nice floor; take a partner! The Classic Jazz Band (née the Royal Dixie Jazz Band), an excellent sextette, plays Monday-Friday at the Gold Coast from 13:00-18:40. On Wednesdays and Fridays, additional dance space is provided. You may read a color-coded-to-interests report on our 2007 trip to Las Vegas via Yosemite and Death Valley at http://geocities.com/iconoc/Articles/RoadJJ07.html If your interest is limited to point-to-point distances, times, and speeds: http://geocities.com/iconoc/Articles...J07.html#Stats - National Parcks Zion, Bryce Canyon, Kanag. - Lake Powell. - Cañon del Colorado - Flagstaff - Phoenix/Scottsdale It's a great trip! You need at least thirty-sex days to do it properly. tim..... wrote: Monterey is less interesting that you may have been led to believe. It makes a good stopever place but nothing more. Monterey is lovely and oozes with historic and architectural interest. It also has what's probably the best aquarium on Earth. Fresno is of Zero Interest. The Forestiere Underground Gardens is fascinating. A more interesting route to Vegas is via Mono Lake Only if the Tioga Pass is open. Anyway it all looks good provided that you have enough time. 4 weeks perhaps? -- __________________________________________________ _________________ In Los Angeles, "short distances" ARE miles! http://geocities.com/dancefest/ --- http://geocities.com/iconoc/ TouringSFO: http://geocities.com/touringsfo/ - IClast @ Gmail.com -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Monterey is lovely and oozes with historic and architectural interest. It also has what's probably the best aquarium on Earth. I fealt utterly ripped off upon leaving that aquarium.....in retrospect it does an excellent job of showing the local underwater scene, but doesnt do a good job of much more.... on the other hand, the Aquarium in Camden, NJ, holy smokes is that place amazing....imho, anydiscussion fo best aquarium has to start with camden.... of course, you may get shot, pimped, or assaulted by offers to buy drugs going to camden, but if you are in philly, you can safely take the ferry across......

They have one of the largest tanks in the world, and right now they have their third great white shark. Find any other aquarium in the world that can keep one alive for more than four weeks. They were also the first aquarium I know of to have successful jellyfish tanks. At this time, they have several exhibits of freshwater otters from around the world. The Monterey Bay Aquarium inspired the construction of the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach as well as the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. A trip to Monterey is far more than the city, which is small and limited. A complete trip would include the 17 Mile Drive in Pebble Beach and Carmel By The Sea. on the other hand, the Aquarium in Camden, NJ, holy smokes is that place amazing....imho, anydiscussion fo best aquarium has to start with camden.... of course, you may get shot, pimped, or assaulted by offers to buy drugs going to camden, but if you are in philly, you can safely take the ferry across...... Camden? Yeah. |
