Just wanted to know because I've heard the route taking the 101 is better from a friend.

it takes anywhere from 6 - 7 hours barring any traffic in Santa Barbara and San Jose.
It is definately more scenic the I-5. But is longer. If you have the time I would recommend doing it over a couple days and making some stops in places like Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, monterey. It is a wonderful new up and coming wine area and scenary that is just gorgeous.

It depends on traffic. It' s taken my 9 hours to get from Santa Cruz to Long Beach on that route, and that city is 1 1/2 hrs south of San Fran!

It depends on how enchanted you get on that route...it is beautiful up that way. I never can make it all the way in one day. However, my friends, who go regularly can get there in 7 1/2 hours with hardly any stopping. Personally, I hate to travel that way...

don't take 101. take route 5 instead it's faster. if you really want to take the scenic route, take route 1 (pacific coast highway). it'll take the whole day at least, but you can't beat the scenery...

keep in mind that...ur leaving from L.A. so depending on what time you get on the highway ur bound to run in to major traffic but its about 8 hours at the most if you maka a lot of stops but at the least 6-7 hours it would take to drive from L.A. to S. F
