Pacific Coast Highway

Can anyone say..........Road Trip lol

The Pacific Coast Highway takes in over 1,000km's ( 650 miles) of some of the most beautiful coastline in the United States and of the State of California. First started in the 1930's and officially designated Highway # 1 in the 1960's the best way is to take your time and be prepared to make many unofficial stops (lol) and stroll the beaches and boardwalks.......enjoy!!

Amazing sunsets on the west coast

Key Tips for Travel

1) Passports; always have two copies with one left at home with a relative/friend and the other being stowed safely within your luggage. If your passport is ever lost or stolen take your copy to your consulate so they can trace the number and cancel the original.....then issue you a new one. Finally also have the contact info of your nearest consulate to where you will be traveling. 2) Call your Credit Card Companies and tell them to where you are traveling so they do not suspend your plastic on the suspicion of fraud. 3) Make sure you have enough coverage with your medical insurance. 4) If bringing a cell phone think ahead and get a service plan for your voice, text and data as you do not need to arrive home to a nasty phone bill for roaming charges. 5) Do not announce to the world via social networks you are traveling to alert some unwanted visitors to your home. 6) Leaving on the first plane in the morning will take the odds of delays out of the equation and with connecting flights please allow at least two hours apart 7) Always travel with two credit cards and use one for the car rental/hotel as they put extra charges on (to be dropped after) as it "ties" up your plastic for this period of time. 8) When using ATMs on your travels you will see an option to accept the dynamic currency conversion (DCC) to your homes cash from whatever that bank machine is located Please Avoid; Besides paying on the standard exchange rate you will add a hefty 5% to 10% for this convenience
