Road Trip from San Diego via LA to San Fran this April.

Hiya - I know this topic has been posted a few times, but not recently so I thought it%26#39;d be OK to post again and see if anyone has any new info to offer. Thanks in advance.

This April I%26#39;m heading over from the UK to San Diego to meet a princess. We%26#39;re going to drive up from San Diego via LA to San Fran. We%26#39;ll be leaving LA for San Fran on the 21st or 22nd of April... and I fly out from San Fran on the 27th. We%26#39;re in our 20s (just) and it%26#39;ll be a coupley holiday so we don%26#39;t want to party. It%26#39;d be good to check out places of interest.

My questions:

1. How long is the drive from LA to SF? I%26#39;d like to spend as much time as possible in SF because everyone says it%26#39;s a wonderful city. However we%26#39;d quite like to enjoy the journey and adventure and not rush too much, is two and a half days a reasonable time to allow for the journey? We%26#39;re thinking about taking the coastal road.

2. Are there any nice sights or towns between LA and SF we should aim to visit? (Bearing in mind time is rather short and we can%26#39;t go too far off track).

3. Any nice hotels enroute or in LA/SF? Our budget is pretty OK (thanks to the strength of my ￡) so something nice but not extravagant :)

4. How cold will the ocean be? Will it be stupidly freezing? (I am half Finnish and swim in the Batlic sea in summer and that%26#39;s pretty cold but bearable).

Any other hints or tips anyone can offer would be really appreciated.

Thanks again in advance.

Keir.
