The West Coast trip has ended, and I posted a set of photos from the road trip. Some friends asked about the detailed itinerary, so I’m sharing it here.
Of course, there were a few pitfalls, which I’ve mentioned, and I will write about them in more detail later. This is for everyone to reference for planning.
