Road Trip Up West Coast of USA in January

Hey guys,
I fly into Los Angeles on the 28th of December and I'm pretty keen for a road trip, so i'm looking for anyone who's up for a fun trip! My only restriction is I need to be in Vancouver for the 14th January to fly home.

My current plan is:
-Las Vegas for New Year(!!)
-Pass by the Grand Canyon
-Head back to LA along the Mexican border, stopping at Mexicali
-Head up the West coast visiting (at the least): San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle.
-From Seattle, get a boat to Vancouver Island
-Boat to Vancouver
-Fly home...
This is just my rough idea, places can be added/removed if necessary.

Obviously the time of year adds a few impracticalities, so if your not travelling is there advice you can offer? Places not to miss/timing/weather/rough price...

Cheers,

Pete more »

Christmas in Goa

Hi,

I am planning a trip to Goa starting 25th Dec and am looking for a travel partner to share the costs with since this is the most expensive time of the year.
I am a non-smoker, drinker and not the party type (but as long as you are not an addict I am good) though I love sipping the Chai a lot. I am looking for a travel partner to share the hotel costs, bike etc. I intend to hire a Bike and just do trips most of the day exploring and taking pictures and in the evenings maybe play some pool or meet some friends (I am not sure of their plans though). Please let me know if interested at vickyzmail2005@yahoo.co.in. I intend to spend my time at the not too touristy beaches (I know it will be hard to find but I will try).

Take care (I go on facebook by vicki India) more »

Nagaland - group needed for Nagaland permit.

Heya,

Im a female, 21 year old, solo traveller currently in kolkata staying with some Indian friends from uni in Australia and I was hoping to go to Nagaland for the Hornbill festival on the 1st to the 6th or 7th of december. I want to travel there with an Indian friend from Nagaland and stay with his family whilst there but Ive only just found out that you need a pass to go to nagaland at all.
You need a group of at least 4 people to be able to apply for a permit so I am looking for people that are interested in forming a group OR a group of 3,4 or more people that wouldn't mind me applying for a permit with them.
