If any of you are ever looking for a cheap, easy vacation option that provides you with some of the most breathtaking beauty you could ever conceptualize, then I'd highly recommend taking a drive down the Big Sur region of the California coast. Running roughly from Carmel-By-The-Sea to the north, to about Santa Barbara or so on its south end, this is a drive that you could do all in one day (as we did) or that you could just as easily, and enjoyably, cut up into 2 or 3 days worth of Jimmy Buffet-esque coastal wandering.
Whether you like mountains, or beaches, or mountains rudely pushing beaches out of the way... whether you're into Redwoods, Sea Lions, or delicate flowers that smell like licorice... whether you like vigorous hikes through the woods, or relaxing naps on the beach... whether you're into fine dining on seaside baloconies, or choking down some grub at greasy-spoon cafes... whether camping's your bag, or covorting with the high-lifers at a $2000-a-night coastal resort... Big Sur offers it all. You can pick and choose as you please, and set your budget as best suits your bank account, and however you decide to go about it, you will thoroughly enjoy yourself.
Bring along someone you enjoy being with. That'll make it even better.
