Driving from Baton Rouge to San Francisco/Bay Area?


Travel Info
Has anyone made this drive before? I'm trying to figure out if it would be economically a bad decision to drive instead of buying two plane tickets? Also, if you've made this drive(or from the south to the Bay area), any tips at all would be great! I've never made a drive this huge before.

Travel Tips
I drove it when I had to, I was moving across the country. It is a painfully long trip and I think you'd spend a lot of time wishing you'd flown. Just getting through texas seemed to take forever. I'd fly!

Others
If I were you I would FLY to San Francisco and then rent a car.
Take the Pacific Coast Hwy and drive down Thru Carmel, Big Sur and Santa Barbara. You will love the scenery. If you drive from B.R. to Frisco you will spend all your time driving. It will take more than a day to get thru Texas.
I agree with Jesse. The drive is not economically wise. It'll take you several days to get there. And the motels alone will surpass the cost for two plane tickets. Save that money for San Francisco...you'll need it.

Southwest flies from New Orleans Airport to Oakland Airport. From Oakland Airport, take the shuttle bus to the BART station ($2.00). Trains depart frequently, and it'll take about 20 minutes to get to Downtown San Francisco ($3.35).
