Ummm...

You do realize (I hope) that while driving up I-101 from LA to SFO can be accomplished in 6.5 hours of driving on highspeed 4 lane freeways (I-101), Highway 1 between Morro Bay and Carmel is mostly 2 lane narrow and twisty road. You are looking at roughly 7 hours of driving between LA & Monteray via Highway 1, assuming you are not delayed by traffic getting out of LA.

Frankly if I didn't *have* to drive Highway 1 on a trip between LA & SFO of less than 2 nights, I would not.

Of course, YMMV...
