My Plans

[Katie Marshall]

On August 16th, I am going on a solo road trip. I plan on driving down the coast for 6 days. Originally, I wanted to make it down to San Diego, but I think I am just going to go as far south as San Francisco. I have never been there and have always wanted to go. Here are my plans so far for my "me-cation".

Day 1

Leave at 6am and head down 101. I will be stopping in Tillamook, OR for lunch with my cousin, who lives there. We will visit for a couple of hours as well, before I head back on the road. At about 9pm, I will be at Arcata, CA where I will check into a hotel room.

Day 2

I will have breakfast at a cafe and stop for snacks. After that, I plan on going to Redwood National Forest. I will be hiking and taking loads of photos, plus I plan on zip lining. I plan on leaving the park at around 2 and I will have an early dinner back in Arcata, CA. After that, I plan on hitting the beach for a couple of hours, before heading back to my hotel for another night.

Day 3

I will check out of my room in the morning and begin the drive down to San Francisco. I should be arriving in San Francisco by 2 pm. The hotel I want to stay at is near all of the attractions, so I plan on getting a room there and having a nice dinner nearby. Maybe I will get in some shopping.

Day 4

I will spend all day in San Francisco, seeing the sights. Maybe I will have dinner on the pier. I will play the day by ear.

Day 5

I will check out of my room and drive to Napa, to spend the night and do some wine tasting. I plan on relaxing here.

Day 6

I'm going to drive home on this day, with no plans to stay anywhere else. I'll be home at around 10pm.

I'm getting excited just counting the days!
