My grandmother-in-law has decided that at the ripe age of 92, she is ready to move back to Vancouver from Escondito, California (basically San Diego). I have agreed to take a couple of weeks off to fly down with my wife to help her pack, then drive the truck full of her belongings back to Canada (while her and my wife fly).
Obviously, this is going to see me taking my sweet time (to some degree), and playing tourist whilst on the road. If I play my cards right, I should be able to justify a couple of nights in each state (California, Oregon, and Washington). I plan to follow the coastal highway; although the passes are faster, they can be questionable in an unfamiliar truck during inclement weather, and besides, the coastal route is scenic and relaxing!
So, to the crux of the matter. I will stop at as many tobacconists as I possibly can between there and home - but alas, south of Seattle and North of L.A. I am entering new territory. Are there any shops along said route (or not too far off of) that I just can't miss?
What about general touristy stuff/awesome pubs/restaurants, etc. etc.
Edit: Grumble grumble, I clicked into the General Pipe Smoking Discussion rather than the General Discussion. Can a mod please move this for me? Thanks!
