So the Fairmont deal has me thinking of a trip to SFO, and then a drive on the PCH down to LA.
Just how much time to people usually take to drive the PCH. I know google says 8 hours, but how much time does it really take including seeing the sights?
Is it worth spending a night along the way? Any SPG/Hyatt along the way?
Never actually done the trip but there are many things to do along the way: Monterey Bay, Hearst Castle, Big Sur, Santa Barbara, Carmel, Pebble Beach, Oxnard (Herzog Winery).
Don't forget you can also do things like try to get a visit in to Google's Campus in Mountain View along with a trip to a restaurant there called The Kitchen Table (
http://www.thekitchentablerestaurant.com/tkt/) which is supposed to be excellent (and has some nice specialty wines to boot apparently).
I believe there is a Hyatt in the Pebble Beach area, don't know of any SPG on that route.
That's all I can think of for now.
