Our Hotel view in Beverly Hills, LA



Maybach parked at the Beverly Wilshire, just off Rodeo Drive. Am told this is the hotel from Pretty Woman.



Trip to Disneyland



The drive to San Francisco along Highway 1/Pacific Highway



The destination



Cool shot of some Harleys, were quite a few on the road



A fun part of the drive, is an awesome drive all the way along actually



Unfortunately the day before we started the trip to San Francisco, lightning strikes caused 700 wild fires, with several being in Big Sur National Park. The Police closed off the Pacific Highway and sent the cars through Big Sur, an army training ground and onto a parallel highway. The road through Big Sur was more like a donkey track! After being ID'd, we went through and got in the middle of an H1 Hummer convoy. Total drive was about 6 hours.



I am a bit of a nerd so the Apple Store was high on the to do list in San Francisco



Fishermans Wharf, where a lot of the boats to Alcatraz, harbour cruises leave from



Coming back to the nerd in me, I have a big interest in the dot-com boom and wrote my dissertation on it at uni so hunting out some of the companies was also a big goal. Google:
