Road Trip To San Francisco

Well, for over a month I have been trying to plan my vacation for Labor Day weekend. The original plan was to head to Monument Valley and camp for a few days. However, the weather has been anything but cooperative and I really don’t feel like sleeping in a foot of water from rain storms. So, I have had a change of plans, I am now on the road heading towards California. The goal is to make it up to San Francisco, which is a hell of a drive from Phoenix.

So for the next 3 (maybe 4, 5, ?) days, I will be out and about taking pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge, trolleys, and whatever else I…

Back from Mexico in One Piece

Hey everyone, I am back from my little road trip to California/Mexico. It was another interesting time I must say. I will break down the trip for you by location:

Tijuana

Tijuana was an eye opener. We parked our car on the US side of the border and then walked across so we didn’t have to worry about getting our car torn apart on the way back.

The place is a little sketch and gives you a feeling of being unsafe. There are shops everywhere trying to lure you in to by stuff and by the end of our little excursion I was ready to snap.

It is pretty sad to see some of the stuff there. There are donkeys every 10…

Border Jumping in San Diego

Well today is my final post summing up my road trip to California. Monday I talked about the Pros and Cons of staying in hostels and yesterday I summed up my experience at USC.

Today, I want to conclude the trip with my experience in San Diego. The drive to San Diego from Los Angeles was not that long and it was actually pretty cool to see. There were a lot of rolling hills and huge houses along the way. It seems like their is not much break in cities all the way except for a few stretches.

Along the way, we made a stop in Oceanside, which had the feel of a small surf town that almost reminded me of…

Road Trip to Los Angeles

Once again, this past weekend was another busy one. My friends and I went out in Tempe Friday night and had a good time. While we were at the bar, we decided that Saturday morning we were going to hop in the car and drive out to Los Angeles.

So Saturday morning, feeling a little hungover, we hoped in the car and headed out of Phoenix at 9 am. For the next five and a half hours we drove through the desert. The drive was not too bad, much better than the drive from Phoenix to Las Vegas.

Along the way, we made a stop in Indio, California, which is one of the only cities I have ever seen with…
