Navigator

Same experiance here. 5 takes 6 hours. I went from San Jose to Redondo beach. Even if you speed, traffic will make you take about 6 hours. I jumped off the 405 and took city streets. It was pretty backed up that day.

Hi gang!

We are back from our marathon drive to Northern California. We had to go there this morning, and then back again tonight. It's a long story... The navigator did great. Got us right to our final destination in Capitola. I wasn't able to figure out how to change to route to the 101. but once we got going for a while it adjusted. The trip to Capitola was about 350 miles and took 6 hours, with two bathroom stops. The car ran perfectly. Averaged 49 mpg on the way and 53 on the way back. I would guess the elevation is the cause for the difference. Cruise control on a long trip like this is incredible. After 12 hours in the car, I really feel pretty good. All in all, a very pleasant day.

Wow, Jeff! Capitola in 1 day and back again! Yikes. My family is in Los Gatos so I have made a similar drive before, indeed. One of my favorite restaurants is in Capitola - Shadowbrook.
