i can only vouch for bay area sites, but if you want a little Japan during your travels, Japan Town in San Fransisco (California) is like someone cut a slice of the country's cherry blossoms/quirky stores and just plopped it into the Bay Area. What's even cooler is that you also can get the amazing China town-bistro experience (really close by to J Town) and the Pier 39 romantic dock-by-the-bay romp all in the same day. (BTW, i'm not hired by the city of SF XD) | ||

As for sites to visit, the midwest is pretty amazing when you first see it, but it can get boring really fast. Just endless fields of agriculture and no cars on the road. You'll end up just driving and having your mind wander quite a bit. Nobody else mentioned this, but you should also visit Death Valley (especially in the middle of Summer) just to say that you've done it. It really does feel like you're melting when it's 125 degrees. Right next to it too is Mt. Whitney, but if you want to really explore it, you'll have to get a permit to do a dayhike and permits are by lottery (meaning you should apply for one now). Really, if it were up to me, I'd just try to hit the major different types of biomes in the US just to see the sheer beauty that the US really offers. That and dash in a few of the major cities like vegas, sf, la, etc and you'd have a pretty complete trip of the US. Of course this ends up having a very west coast bias as most of the major biomes are only in california/pacific northwest. Anothing interesting idea too would be to actually go out to sea when you're in the Pacific just to compare it to the Atlantic. Going out to Santa Catalina Island or around the Monterey Bay are really good options. The SF Bay is polluted as hell, so it won't be quite that romantic. | ||

The drive isn't crowded, the ocean is unbroken by islands, and you could find lots of little B&B getaways up there. The rugged Oregon coast scenery is even more amazing than the Norcal one. There isn't much but nature up there and it is absolutely beautiful. | ||

I've been on several road trips and the 2 with girls that had any romantic ties to anyone in the car were horrible. Really? I love driving with my girlfriend ^^. Probably just depends on the people and not the fact that they are female. | ||

I've been on several road trips and the 2 with girls that had any romantic ties to anyone in the car were horrible. And those girls are no longer involved in those same relationships Im almost 100 percent sure. I for one love going on roadtrips my best ones with my wife.Sure it can get stressful but good communication and a little understanding can help ease those times when things can get stressful. | ||

We've had long roadtrips before and actually enjoyed it, so I'm guessing/hoping that was a fluke experience you had. | ||

 The ice cream at the Mammoth Springs general store is pretty good and the Lake Yellowstone Hotel has a nice restaurant (elk medellions are yummy). You're also almost guaranteed to see wildlife, of the more or less cute variety. Just don't get too close. /this is a biased post. Of course you might as why it's biased, and that's because I love it here and you would too | ||
