      So cool to hear this, thanks Scott!!! Getting to the point where we might have to do it again!! 🚗 We made one a couple of years ago which shows some alternative stopping points too. Good luck with the planning and let us know how it all goes!! 😎👍

    Flew fron London to San Francisco, then rented A Harley Davidson. Drove the PCH to LA and flew back to London. Spent 10 days in total. A life changing experience !!! Jimmy from Ireland

      @LifeOfReillyTV  5 лет назад +2

      Jimmy, that sounds amazing!! Ten days must’ve given you time to really explore places - and the Harley would mean you could get to places that others couldn’t. Thanks for posting, Easy Rider!! 🏍

    San Diego to San Francisco was one of my first ever road trips with just me and my friends my senior year of high school. As a teenager I thought it was the craziest thing, such a beautiful scenery as well but man oh man we where so ignorant to the fact how much driving was needed it was hilarious. We where just teenagers so stopping to spend the night at a hotel wasn’t in our budget lol. We got to San Francisco at 3am in the morning god it was so funny. But the trip is one I’ll never forget still my favorite to this day.

    • @LifeOfReillyTV

    I'm a native Californian who has lived all his life on or no more than a few miles away from CA route 1. In my home town, it was called by the old Spanish name, El Camino Real. I loved taking this trip with you and your family!! You even stayed at my favorite Cambria get-away. nice. I see this video is a few years old, so i hope you bring your kids back for a repeat adventure. Maybe you could go south-to-north this time.
    Cheers from LA, CA.

      Thanks for the great message. We loved every second of this trip. We made a follow-up couple of years ago where we went to some of the alternative stops people could make. We also went up to Leggett and only found out it was the start of Highway 1 when we got there!! We made a mini video on that trip but we really want to do the whole stretch next: Leggett to San Diego!! Hopefully, you’ll be along for the ride!! 🚗😎👍

    • @LifeOfReillyTV
      @LifeOfReillyTV  7 лет назад

      Hi, I planned out what shots I'd need for each part of the trip and made sure that I either had GoPro from the car or DSLR shots to cover everything I needed. I filmed something every time we stopped. A lot didn't make it into the edit but it's better to have it than not. Also, you might find that if we didn't have a certain shot, we let the one before it continue or use a shot of us driving!! There is so much to see and film on the trip though! Good luck with yours!!!

    I live in Carlsbad, a wee bit north of San Diego and we vacation in Oregon every year.. we take our dogs and drive up, we've always taken the quicker(less interesting) inland route but after watching this I think it'd be totally worth it to shave a day off Oregon to do this drive. :-) Great video!

    Fantastic video, well done! I'm a California native and I've driven every drivable inch of the coast from Astoria, Oregon to San Diego, CA. I wish you would have shown old HWY 101 from Carlsbad to Del Mar. It is the last stretch of "old" California beach town left. I prefer the Central Coast near Morro Bay but the weather along old HWY 101from Carlsbad to Del Mar is probably the best in the world and in the summer the water is the warmest on the California coast. Again, well done!

    Totally awesome trip, we did half of this a few days ago, a MUST also that you passed up in big sur area, was Mcway waterfall, this is the only waterfall that I know of, I’m sure there are more, that falls directly into the ocean, we took awesome pictures there. It’s easy to get to , just a short hike. However, it can only be viewed from the trail , as it is a big fine to hike down to this beautiful spot, I believe there trying to preserve it , beautiful photo op tho 👍🏻

    We did this trip 2 years ago. We stayed in Cayucos the first night then we stayed in Santa Barbara and we went to the zoo. Next we stayed in Ventura. The next day drove through Malibu, Santa Monica and we stayed in Newport Beach. The next day we were in Laguna Beach, San Clemente, ocean side, La Jolla then stayed overnight in San Diego. The next day we spent in Coronado then we started making our way back to home. It was an epic road trip through the Golden State.
    FYI, Ventura was SO ghetto. I'm glad we went, but I know that I will never go back. Laguna Beach is a must to stop vmby and see.
