Driving: The Classic California Road Trip
Let's start with the obvious: driving. It's a classic California experience, and the drive from L.A. to Monterey is pretty darn scenic. You'll trade the concrete jungle for rolling hills, vineyards, and the Pacific Ocean. Just remember: California drivers are a breed of their own. So, buckle up, keep a safe distance, and don’t be surprised if someone passes you while you're already passing someone else.
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
Pro tip: If you’re feeling adventurous, take the scenic route along Highway 1. It’s longer, but the views are worth it. Just be prepared for winding roads and potential traffic.
