I'm going to try something new with my formatting. I don't know any HTML or how the internet really works, so I'm using whatever free HTML software myspace.com gives me.
The drive from LA to San Luis Obispo (SLO) was about 200 miles and took us about 3 hours. Thanks to our friends at google maps, I have a graphic for you to see.
After a great time in LA, it was time to head up the coast. We packed up our stuff (how do we have so much stuff?) and picked up Gavin's Honda that we had shipped to Long Beach and then headed north to meet Hilary for lunch at Disney.
I love corporate cafeterias. My favorite used to be Microsoft's because you could have a freshly grilled fillet of salmon over your salad, but at Disney, they make these great pizzas that you hold (it's hard to explain).

After Disney, we jumped on HWY 101 and started our way up the coast. We drove through Santa Barbra as we listened to Jack Johnson (UCSB Alum). The drive up 101 was beautiful and it was nice to get out of the city to where the air was a bit cleaner. Past Santa Barbara, we started seeing parts of the Central Coast's wine producing areas. I couldn't stop thinking of Sandra Oh in "Sideways." (Gav refuses to drink Merlot to this day.)
Once we reached SLO, we checked into our $60 two bedroom suite at the Ramada Inn (thank you Priceline.com!) and hit the town for some grub. We ended up getting some finger-lickin-good ribs at Mo's Smokehouse (102 Cross St Ste 120, San Luis Obispo, CA).
Later that night, we ended up at SLO's only Gay Night at a bar called Tortilla Flats. The locals were friendly and filled with young gay students from Cal Poly (young activist gays and lesbians), but there were a few nice young boys who were kind enough to ask if we were currently enrolled at "Poly". So sweet.
Let's just say that Gav does most of the driving.
