She probably wouldn't head down the coast on her own, but since her partner (the OP) is heading there, what a great excuse to accompany him and to be able to spend the mornings with him in a nice hotel/motel somewhere, then spend several hours of the day doing what she wants to do, and then spend the evening with him telling each other about their days, strolling by the beach together, going out to a little restaurant she discovered for dinner, or whatever.
Of course, the key is whether or not she is interested in doing that. If she is interested ... wonderful!
My thought exactly. I'm hoping to do the STP next year and she is going to drive a SAG for me. She is taking her bike with the car and then we will make our way over to the ocean to do some day riding and such. Kind of a shakedown for what I want to do on the coast. We are the type of couple that have fun doing anything or nothing so I'm not too concerned with her not finding enough stuff to keep her occupied.
