Thinking of doing Cali

[jdouds]

On west coast we have used airbnb quite often and have stayed in some great places. Our acc in Monterey had bikes for is to use and 2 aquarium passes which worked great for us.

I would suggest that you start with mine.. and for a reason. Mine is all in a single thread of 4 pages that cover everything we did, what we got right and more importantly, what we would do differently next time. It was largely done live and then amended later. The purpose was to give the mechanics of a 14 day trip and how to actually do things as much as listing what we actually did.. hence we detail some things we believe we got wrong.
Having read mine, you might have a basic framework from which to either add in or take out things. You might not like anything that we did!

Having done this, you can then expand into other ‘one day, one thread’ reviews of others once you know what you want. These cover things in greater detail, rather than mine which is simply an ‘overview’.

That's interesting Cornishfrogboy,
I agree with you that it isn't very easy to trawl through all the single day reports with very long titles, but your comment makes me wonder, - how many people know about the index page?
I did ask Stu to post a sticky link to the trip reports, and I am always suggesting people read through them, maybe the link should be to the index page?
