For as much as I am terrified of flying and get stressed over traveling, I LOVE roadtrips. I can spend a whole day in a car without batting an eyelash provided I can entertain myself or have good travel company (or nice scenery to gaze at). When I was kid, my dad used to load us all into the car and go for long rides, sometimes a whole afternoon into evening to nowhere particular and back again. I have never been to California, but someday I want to drive the whole way out, eating in roadside and sleeping in questionable motels and seeing that whole span of land in between...
