Perhaps a little more - around 360 miles, I believe. Not so much a typo as the signposted distance on 101, which is 448 miles from just south of San Jose, IIRC. I was thinking of the distance to Long Beach, which is what I'll be doing in a couple of weeks. > p. s.

I'll come up 101 (or even Route 1) if I've got time, but that's an all-day drive. But it does have the very definite advantage that you're driving up through Big Sur and the Monterey area as the sun sets over the pacific.
