Yeah, no kidding, we haven't even left yet and there's already a good size pile of stuff building up at my sisters house.

We arrive in SFO and will have a couple days to relax with my sister in Alameda while getting the bike ready. Probably do a couple touristy things in the city and of course the Golden Gate Bridge.

I share this knowing that your awesome ride report will give me the vicarious high from across the Pacific. Here are some of suggestions from West to East (with help from National Geographic). If you want any additional info on any of these, just give me a shout.
I will try to post some interesting stuff along the way, thanks for the list of ideas.

I hate to say it, but you guys are probably right, should spend at least one night in Las Vegas, which is kind of like Disneyland with gambling.

Thanks for the comments and well wishes folks
