Hi there

If you look at this website www.mapquest.com it is great for planning driving distances/durations

Personally I think 1 night at each place is not long enough, would recommend 2 so you get a whole day in each park.

Not been to any of the parks except Yosemite where we had 2 nights/1 whole day.

Well, I%26#39;m not sure about driving distances. You can check mapquest or streetfinder.com for that, but I would say that you must be spending your honeymoom in the car. This sounds awfully ambitious to me. Do you like to hike? If so then you are not giving yourself enough time to truly see those amazing national parks. We spent 4 days in Yosemite alone and didn%26#39;t see nearly enough. However, that being said it may still be a little cold in May and some areas may not be open due to snow. The drive from Yosemite to San Fran took us about 4 hours. San Fran is truly a magnificient city, but could be done in less than 4 days depending on what you plan to do. Be sure to plan and book some of your excursions ahead of time (Alcatraz) because if you wait until you get there the tickets will be sold out. Been there, done that :( That being said I hope you have a wonderful time whatever you plan to do.
