*** Still working out the kinks for this leg of the trip. I want to take Pacific Coast Highway up to SF. It'll be a long trip, and is probably worth of two days...

Total Estimated Driving Distance: 3603 miles
Total Estimated Driving Time: 75 hours, 36 minutes

We'll see what a lead foot and a radar detector can do to the time estimates. And it will come as no surprise to many of you that I will be logging actual vs. estimated distance and drive. Google Maps is still a Beta Product, and I'm sure they'd love to hear back from a user like myself. A user who is also a Business Systems Analyst who wouldn't mind taking a job at Google... But I digress. Stay tuned for updates, and if anyone has suggestions for PCH, please let me know!

holy #$^%^@ thats a lot of driving.

and this is random (seeing as how i'm in KC) but austin to el paso is more like 7-8 hours, so i dunno where they came up with 11, but meh. whatever.

enjoy the trip!
