Last year, on Memorial Day, I started this trip by driving From Seattle to Long Beach, staying one night at the Adrift Hotel. Today, Memorial Day, one year later, I’ll again drive to Long Beach and the Adrift Hotel. I’ll arrive in Seattle tomorrow.

Fish, prawns and chips at a favorite spot in Port Orford 😋

Two days from Seattle so tonight’s stop will be the same as day 2 –  Florence, Oregon

The last three days of my road trip will, in reverse, duplicate the first three days.

I’m three days away from arriving back in Seattle. Tonight I’ll stay in the same place as I did on Day 3 – The Eureka Inn in Eureka, California.

Cioppino 😋

Since it’s such a short drive to Sunnyvale, where I’ll spend the night, I’ll detour to Monterey for lunch.

From Garden Grove, CA to Pismo Beach, CA. Since it’s a relatively short drive, I’ll spend at least part of the day avoiding freeways.

Today I leave Las Vegas and drive to Garden Grove, California. I’ll reach Seattle in six day, on Tuesday, May 29th.

Although I have met all my goals for this trip, I’ll continue to provide updates until I reach Seattle on May 29th.

Today, I will drive from Lehi, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada where I’ll spend four nights (celebrating my travel accomplishment).

So that’s it, with visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, I’ve completed my visit to Wyoming and have thus visited all 48 contiguous states, plus Hawaii (via cruise ship), leaving Alaska as the only state not yet visited (which I’ll likely visit via cruise ship later this summer).

So for now, I’m headed to Las Vegas (I’ll make an overnight stop in Utah tonight). After a few days in Vegas, I’ll start making my way back to Seattle.

The last three days of my trip will identical to the first three days, only in reverse. I left Seattle last year on Memorial Day and spent the first night at the Adrift Hotel in Long Beach, Washington. That was followed by a night at the Old Town Inn in Florence, Oregon and then the Eureka Inn in Eureka, California.

For the return trip, I’ll spend Saturday, May 26th at the Eureka Inn in Eureka, Sunday May 27th at the Old Town Inn in Florence and my final night on the road will be Monday, May 28th (Memorial Day) at the Adrift Hotel in Long Beach. I’ll return to Seattle on Tuesday, May 29th.
