    Ive done this drive easily 50+ times in my life

    6 hour drive on hwy5
    your looking at 3 - 2 hour stretches
    • SF to hwy5 east of Gilroy
    • the 5 stretch to the grapevine
    • grapevine to LAX (DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF DAY)

    what times your flight out of LA?
    if you didn't already book your flight
    I would plan according to dealing with a 2 hour drive from the grapevine and entering the LA area, traffic starts around Valencia which is about 1.5 hours from LAX

    • hwy5 for efficiency
      pch will easily double your drive time, but it is very nice

    • Flight out is at 10.30pm, but obviously have to check-in earlier for all the customs malarkey.Nathan_Adams
    • to aim at being at LAX at 9:am I would leave SF after at 7:pm the night before avoiding its traffic, you can get a hotel by LAX by 1:30 ammoldero

    • dealing with these 2 cities and a flight, traffic should be your main concernmoldero
