Geography 101

This next blog is for all of you that live outside the ginormous state of California and have absolutely NO idea where any particular city is in the state; mainly in relation to Monterey.  So for all of you that are planning on taking a vacation out here at some point please beware that this state is quite large and trying to fit it all in in one trip is like going on a cruise; you'll only get a little taste of each city and won't get a lot out of any one area.

Monterey, CA is ________ miles away from:

Santa Cruz: 43 miles
San Jose: 72 miles
San Francisco: 118 miles
Muir Woods: 128 miles
Napa/Sonoma: 153 miles/159 miles
Big Sur: 31 miles
Cambria: 103 miles
Pismo Beach: 156 miles
Santa Barbara: 249 miles
Los Angeles: 321 miles
Long Beach: 343 miles
San Diego: 441 miles

Please keep these numbers in mind when you are planning your vacation.  And don't be offended when you say you're coming to San Diego and I pass on the opportunity to see you.  So before you come to the Golden State please plan accordingly!  I hope to see you soon...
