Eureka to Milpitas, CA - 8 Days trip to Silicon Valley / San Francisco & Back (Aug 9-16, 2015)
Next Stops - August 11, 2015.
We finally reached California's border after midnight, checked in our reserved overnight accommodation (Eureka - Motel 6) at around 2 am, August 11, 2015.
We must had few stops that we anticipated, and stayed a little longer between our drive from Seaside, Oregon to Eureka, CA, that we ended up paying the price for it.
Driving in Oregon Coast at night taking US 101 Highway is NOT RECOMMENDED! The view must have been beautiful between Florence, Eugene, Oregon to Eureka, California, but AVOID driving in the night at all cost!
My husband is the best driver that I know, great driver instructor to me and my youngest daughter. But even great driver has it's worst driving moments, this one is!
A 9hrs drive became like a 12.5hrs drive, from Seaside, OR to Eureka, CA. He called it, "The Hellish Drive"! The road is foggy, winding, narrow, one lane, and bright lights had to be used at all time, from Florence, OR to Eureka, CA.
I was on the edge of my seat at all times in last 4hrs. Tried not to blink even Albert was driving until we reached our overnight accommodation at around 2am. The GPS and the music was on, and all passengers are very supportive with our designated driver.
We just had a few hours nap, gassed up, had lunch at nearby mall in Eureka and start heading to Milpitas, CA (Silicon Valley), for our 4 nights accommodation (Hilton - Embassy Suites).
