The situation: PDX to somewhere in Texas
Option A: PDX - LAX via CS. Stay overnight in nearby hotel. Leave the next day for points east from LAX.
Concerns: Late arrival in LAX. Limited sightseeing.
Option B: PDX - SLO via CS. Stay overnight in SLO. Take EARLY Pacific Surfliner to LAX and catch train to Texas.
Is opt B more 'touristy'? Are there better opportunities in SLO? Would there be a marked cost diff with the PDX-SLO-LAX switch.
TIA for your thoughts (other than 'Why would I want to go to Texas'?)
