[quote=Anonymous]We live near the San Francisco airport and we’re going to San Diego for a week in April. We have to kids (12 and 8). The 8 year old sometimes gets carsick but generally does well. We have done 5 hr road trips before, but not longer.

For various reasons (expense and concerns about air traffic controllers at San Carlos airport - because that take off path crosses SFO’s landing path) we are considering driving. Alternative options are fly from SFO both ways, fly from San Jose (about a one hour drive) both ways, or leave from SFO and land in San Jose (and then take a train home). The flights for the whole family would be about $1,000 and I haven’t looked into a rental car. I assume two hotel stays (one driving south and one driving north) would come to about $800 give or take. So that plus gas would mostly cancel out flight costs.

I think it’s safer to fly, but could imagine it maybe being fun if we stopped at some special spots along the way.

Would you drive or fly? If you’ve done the drive, anywhere really fun to spend a night? We’ve stayed in Santa Barbara at UCSB’s campus before. I was thinking maybe Pismo Beach but welcome other recommendations.
