If you're looking for smart ways to spend your time, take a "driving vacation" up California's Pacific Coast Highway.

Winding its way along the Pacific, it's perfect for people who love to drive and explore coastal towns and beautiful landscapes...

• For a weekend escape up the PCH, start in Malibu at the beach. You haven't done Southern California until you've had a true surfing experience...and it costs absolutely nothing to sit and soak it all in.

• Get back in your car and head north on PCH. Pull over in Ventura -- another exciting California beach adventure awaits.

• Continue on to Santa Barbara...be sure to check out State Street with all its activities, shops and galleries.

• When you've had your fill, enjoy a luxurious night's stay at the five-diamond bed and breakfast, Simpson House Inn. (It will rejuvenate you for another day of driving, if you're so lucky!)
