thanks, greatly appreciate you taking the time to write all those comments.

once we have some other dates confirmed I will update.

We also hope to take in Carmel / Monterey, my fiance is very keen on beaches are there any good ones in that area? We though of maybe staying somewhere waterside for a few nights.

Finally is Yosemite driveable, I've heard accomodation is a bit overpriced and not that great?
