Suggestions for flying in California
I'm off to California on Friday to spend three weeks poling a Robbie around, in an attempt to get the 50 hours I need to get to the hours requirement for the JAR CPL(H).
I'll be flying from Long Beach, but intend taking a machine away for days at a time. I have a few ideas for itineraries but I'm up for suggestions and also want an idea of whether they're practical.
Itinerary 1. LA, San Joaquin Valley to San Francisco, back down the coast.
Itinerary 2. LA, Las Vegas, Death Valley (Furnace Creek) because I want a minus MSL airfield in the logbook, then back to LA.
Other thoughts. LA, Las Vegas, east of the Sierra Nevadas to Reno, over to Tahoe then SF ( rather than the San Joaquin Valley ).
Any suggestions for best / safest routings, hotels, sights to see, things to do, things not to do ? My wife says she'll castrate me if I go to the Grand Canyon without her, so I suppose I'll have to go to dinner with my tall, blonde, American boss who's on sick leave in SF !!
