I was going to say that you should check out northern california - Shasta, the Delta, etc.
But since you're planning on driving from LA to Florida, you should prob concentrate on hitting a few areas in So Cal and then heading to Powell on your way to Florida.
How long will you guys be here? Thats a long drive.

What? You're not bringing any chicks with you? Oh wait...you want to make good time driving across the country, I forgot.
(Besides, chics dig aussie accents so once you are here, they will be flocking to you. No need to bring your own.)

89comp is right but it's not just aussie accents... Southern accents, French accents, Eastern European accents - those are all good too

hmmm...(note to self, when in Reno, find NVCickadee, thrown down accent, etc..)
I think Irish guys get the most girls with their accents though. Good luck you Aussies!

89comp, Hahahaha - it'd probably work too...
I don't know about Irish accents since I've never met a born & bred Irishman... I've only heard comedians imitating... Scottish is good though.

Plans have changed slightly, we'll be in Vancouver in 9 days!
The rough plan is:
Vancouver for a week or two getting our bearings, buying a car (some sort of van we can tear the seats out of), getting drunk and finding girls to hold hands with.
Drive down into the US (we have 90 days in the States) and head for San Fran to do some riding, concert going & drinking for a few weeks (San Fran & the Nor Cal area is my #1 destination in the US).
Continue South to LA then turn inland and see Vegas, the Canyon and Tahoe (Anyone recommend a good place to stay here?), with plenty of drinking and hand holding on the way.
Further south, cross into Mexico at some point. Alcohol. Sex.
Return to the states as shells of our previous selves. Keep heading East for more **** and ***.
Florida! Swear off all things sinful.
florida. F*ck it bring on the sin.
Florida!
Head North West to Chicago, visiting as many places as we can in between. Anyone guess what we'll be doing at those places?
Cross back into Canada for a 3-5 month stint working somewhere in the Banff area. Snowboarding, hot chocolate and holding hands.
Come back to Australia. Continue riding kangaroos to work and avoiding crazy spinning Tasmanian Devils.

In all seriousness though Skwake and I are both looking forward to visiting everywhere mentioned and more. We have nothing set in concrete bar 2 things:
1: We fly into Vancouver on the 28th. (I should have said we leave in 9 days in the last post, we actually have a stop over in China so we'll be in Vancouver in 10 days)
2: We have to be back out of the States and in Canada within 90 days of entering the continent. The Canadians seem much happier allowing us into their country, not that I can blame the yankees for not wanting trash like us on their soil for too long
Other than those dates we can do as we please. We hope to meet as many of you as we can, I'm especially looking forward to meeting as many members of the old site as possible. If you even have a vague notion I might mean you, you're probably right.
Team Gasoline Queen, coming to a bar near you!

Your itinerary is flawed. When you're in Nor-cal (SF-Bay) it's a 4 hour drive from there to Tahoe, so you should do that before heading South to L.A. & Vegas. From Reno / Tahoe you can drive to either Vegas or L.A. in 7 - 9 hours give or take a little. If you stay on the coast from SF to L.A., then go to Vegas & the Canyon, then back to Tahoe, you'll be going in a big circle.
There're a ton of hotels at Lake Tahoe you can find on-line for cheap. I would stay on the California (South Lake Tahoe) side for a day or two, then stay in Reno for a few days. Boarding at Tahoe is a chilling experience to say the least and there are two other lakes in the Reno area (Lahontan & Pyramid) that are warmer.
Vegas also has a ton of hotels, stay on or very near the strip for partying, but if you're trying to save cash, you should get your booze off the strip at a grocery store.
L.A.? I hate L.A. - can't help you there.

Thanks for the tip NV, I'm glad we're not locked into anything at the moment. Ok so San Fran, Tahoe area, and then onwards to wherever. All this is good Thanks again.
Haugy, We'll be sure and drop in See you there!

I highly doubt I'm on your list of people you want to meet (newbie and all), but if your route from Vegas to Florida takes you through Little Rock, I can probably provide a place to crash. If the timing works out, maybe even a trip to the lake. Just give me a holler.
Hope you have a great visit - and keep up that Aussie reputation for good times and partying...
