Default 2 weeks travelling west coast

Hi Folks
My last planned trip to the west coast didn't go so well, flight problems, health provblems etc made me cut it short.

Soooo I'm going to do it again! Cashed in my FF miles with virgin and I'm flying into LA at the start of November for 2 weeks.

I'm looking for suggestions of where to go, what to do - Only def plans are a few touristy things in LA (maybe 3-4 days) and a couple of days in Seattle. I'm open to anything and the more off the beaten track the better.

Thanks for your help!

You should face many problems during traveling. According to me doing exercise is a best way to stay healthy during traveling. Next time if you planned to go for travel then remember this things. It may be very useful for you. You have great plan ahead to go West Coast.

What type of stuff do you want to do? That might be helpful for recommendations.

I would suggest Portland, it's super cool, laid back, nothing super touristy but tons to do. Have you seen IFC's new show Portlandia? Check it out.

Def check out LA - lot of people don't like LA - I could fucking stay there for life. Sounds like you have a plan there though. If you were considering San Diego, I went in 2009 and found it to be a sleeping and kinda boring place (beautiful, don't get me wrong!)... but I could have a love affair with LA... been to Orange County too, felt like it was very overrated...

What about San Francisco? That's on my short list to go to in the US... and Napa... Lotta tpunks in the PNW area who can chime in and help for there...
