tanithryudoIt took us 11 hours to make it to San Diego, which is longer than it really should have, and all due to taking the scenic route (Highway 1 along the coast) instead of Interstate 5 all the way.
We did get a little lost in Salinas trying to get from 101 to highway 1, and then again in San Luis Obispo trying to get from highway 1 back onto 101. In the end, we found that the on ramp to 101 in San Luis Obispo was actually in the middle of a residential area, literally right in front of somebody's house. Man, those folks must have a hard time getting in and out of the house, especially during weekday rush hours; not to mention the noise.
Highway 1 was very scenic, very pretty. Lots of high cliffs and beaches. It was also very hard to drive (and I drove 80-90% of the entire way to SD) due to the up/downs/twists/turns. Nerve wracking at times, and not very conducive for the driver to enjoy the view off to the side, for fear of accidentally swerving off a cliff. Also, not good for anyone prone to motion sickness. I was getting a bit sick and I never get that while driving.
Took some photos and videos, but they all have people in it so I wont bother posting. We made it to our destination at about 6 PM.
