Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Someone needs to help me convince my wife that my vacation idea rocks, lol. I want to fly into San Diego and drive all the way up the California and Oregon costline and then fly back home.

That's absolutely on my bucket list of things to do. I've driven up some of the west coast, but I'd love to do a long road trip like you're proposing.

The other day I had an app show up on my phone called ' Apps and Games'. Today I had a green + sign show up in the notification tab saying I had a missed call with a bunch of mumbo jumbo after it. I didn't touch it, just deleted it. Has anyone else seen or heard of these two things?
sounds like airpush. there's ann app in play called air push detector that will let you know what app is pushing the ads

I had this before, it was an ad, download airpush detector and it will tell you which app is doing it then you can delete or modify that app. If rooted , you can install Adfree and it will stop it from happening in the future.

What does she want?

That's absolutely on my bucket list of things to do. I've driven up some of the west coast, but I'd love to do a long road trip like you're proposing.

I'm hoping I can convince her to do it. I want to do it before we have kids because I know they'll hate it. She wants to go to the beach, but I'm thinking there will be plenty of years to go to the beach after we have kids. That's probably all we'll do for vacation after that. Plus this trip is all beach....1,200 miles of it, lol!

Beach with kids is NOT the same. There is no relaxing with kids until they have worn themselves out and by that point the parents need a nap too.
I'd say you do some research and find at least one stop with a beach and other stops that will appeal to her. You're not gonna win if you don't. IMHO anyway.

Oh I know it isn't the same, but I really don't like the beach and I'd be more than happy to do whatever with kids while mom goes to the beach/pool area. I abhor laying out.

I'd definitely find a beach along the way to get some beach time in. Probably will have to be more than a 7 day trip, but I think we could swing it.

Best Beaches of California - California Beach Guide

Great beaches exist from San Diego through Malibu (even some "clothes-free" zones from what I hear :dancing2:)

I've done the Canada to LA run, which can be done in 2-3 days if speeding. But I suggest a leisurely pace, the scenery is amazingly beautiful and runs from beach to chaparral to cliffs to rain forest. If you book it now, you could end up at the Sasquatch Music Festival over Memorial Day in Oregon. Tons of wineries the full way, and I also understand that there are some, um, "herbal" areas of NorCal that are of interest to some folks. :D

Would never get the wife to visit one of those "clothes-free" zones. Stayed at a resort with one of those zones sectioned off in Jamaica and I just couldn't talk her into going to it, lol. Honestly don't know if I would have either though, lol

Anyone up for a new Lamborghini SUV?

Lamborghini Urus unveiled at Beijing Auto Show - Dash - CBS News

And I did not know that VW owns Lamborghini :eek:

I know they own Bugatti, but IHateMyTreo may be right about Lambo too, not quite sure, but it does ring a bell.

Yeah, I meant in addition, although I'm not sure on Lambo, never heard that before, but not saying it's not true. Lambo is Italian while VW is German. Just looked up to confirm, they are owned by the VW Group.

It was recited in the linked story from CBS. News to me but wow, that's an odd match.

And Stigy, nice wheels on the Lambo!

That's cool. Are they just going to reshape them?

Goodness, how much would the shipping cost for that? >_>;;;

I had a Key Lime Coconut patty and now I'm buzzed and hyper :dancing2:

Well I only need to ship one back. Basically they put it on a machine and it makes the wheel circular again where the tire seats to the wheel. Shipping one wheel is like $25 and they're paying shipping back to me so not horrible at all.

Got local quotes and they want $125 to do it. No thanks.
