Are you going yosemite from monterey? That seems a bit of driving

Redwoods not on way from SJC to Santa Cruz

Maybe OP means something like big basin redwoods state park? Not quite along the way still but not too big a detour.

I’d either do Yosemite / Lake Tahoe or Santa Cruz & Monterey / Big Sur. Not both.

Yes

Can I come with you

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

Is anyone able to give me the Marriott Family or/and friends discount paper? 🤗

Long time Marriott traveler looking to switch to Hyatt (or at least add Hyatt). Does anyone know if you need to stay at a minimum category or type of hotel with Hyatt to earn nights? Also, do special codes like government or corporate discount codes still earn nights? I feel like the answer is most likely yes since it’s not like Hyatt operates on a different planet than Marriott. Thanks!
