Yes.  A friend and drove my MGB from Tacoma to San Francisco in
1979, cutting over to 101 at Portland.  We left Tacoma at 6:00
and arrived in Oakland (where we finally found a motel) at 2:00
the next morning.  I'd never do that again.  But in two days,
yes, it would be great.  At least nowadays there won't be as
many logging trucks to get stuck behind, but probably just
as many Winnebagos with clueless Good Sams at the wheel.

I can't really reccommend any hotels, but if you're going 
down the coast you've got to do Sea Lion Caves, Trees of
Mystery and some of the other cheesy roadside attractions.
"There's something about Sea Lion Caves that steals your
heart!"  Yeah, the smell. :-)
