My choices would be Portland, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon Coast from Cannon Beach to Brookings, the Redwoods, Napa and Sonoma Valley, San Francisco, Highway 1 from San Francisco to Santa Monica (Carmel, Big Sur, Pismo Beach, Santa Barbara), Los Angeles, Orange County beach towns, San Diego.

That's a very good list/approach. Have to go watch the rest of golf today and then the Super Bowl - but will add a few ideas tomorrow.

During your time in Seattle - you might consider taking the ferry over to Victoria, on the island of British Columbia.

> what are the must see places and must do things on Highway 101

Unless you can specify WHAT you are hoping to experience during this 1450-mile, twelve-day journey, nobody can tell you anything of any use. Things WE may find fascinating, you would find utterly boring; and vice-versa.

Also, weather in February on the Pacific Coast, particularly in the northwest, can be iffy -- if a major storm comes through, a road that would have been nice for driving in August could suddenly become treacherous. Be prepared to leave Highway 101, not because there's no attractions, but because there's no road!

I should mention that I myself could easily spend twelve days visiting only the Seattle area, or only the coast of Oregon and northern California, or only the Bay Area, or only the Los Angeles / Orange County region, or even only the area south of there. You're going to have to skip a LOT of good things along the way, so tell us what YOU want to see.
