In May I am going to be in Los Angeles with a few co-workers on a Sunday and have to be in Seattle by Tuesday night. Nothing scheduled in between. Instead of just flying from LAX to SEA, I would much rather drive up the PCH to San Francisco and fly from SFO/SJC to SEA on Tuesday. Unfortunately the PCH is closed north of San Simeon due to a mudslide last year so we won't be able to take it all the way up to San Francisco via that route. It looks like I will have to head inland for a bit and then get back to the PCH near Gorda.
We are most likely going to stay in Santa Barbara on Sunday night due to a prior commitment. It's a long slog to get up to San Francisco by Monday night if we want to enjoy anything that the coast has to offer so what would be a sensible stop along our northbound route that would still allow us to enjoy the drive without rushing? I thought that Monterey/Carmel would make sense on Monday night and it would give us plenty of time to get to SJC/SFO on Tuesday for our flight to SEA in the late afternoon.
We like good food, wine and decent accommodations ($300/night max) so any recommendations that you know of along the way that would fit those parameters would be appreciated.
