Morning All,
I am planning a holiday to the USA in August with my gf. We have never been to the west coast so we are going to road trip for a few weeks.
Here is my initial plan.
Fly from Ireland to San Francisco
2-3 Days in San Francisco. From there do the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, etc
4-5 Days in Yosemite Park. Touring and camping. Visit Lake Tahoe.
Hire a Car then head south on Highway 1
2-3 Days in Santa Barbara. Go Sup Boarding, Whale watching, etc
1-2 Days in LA. Do the usual tourist stuff.
2-3 Days in San Diego then head towards Las Vegas.
2-3 days in Las Vegas. Do the Grand Canyon, Casinos, etc etc
Then fly to New York for a few days and home to Ireland.
Here is a rough route plan on google maps. You will have to zoom out to see the route.

So if you have any tips on places to stay/visit, local knowledge, advise on places to go and places not to go then please let me know.
Any connections in car hire? (looking to hire a convertible mustang!)
Thanks in advance.
