Get a good map and chart your trip so that you can hit all 5 bridges. Guess you know that you'll be paying $$ to use the bridges....

Try 101 North Then East on the Dumbarton. 880 North, then West on the San Mateo. 101 North, again, into San Francisco. Catch 80 East, crossing on the Bay Bridge. 80 North to the Richmond/San Rafael Bridge, 101 South and cross the Golden Gate into San Francisco. I'ts a roundabout route, but this should let you cross all five bridges and not have to duplicate any part of the trip except the last part, leaving San Francisco, getting back to the Airport.

Never heard of this kind of road trip before considering the trip from San Jose to San Francisco is like a hour, but not your way :) Anyway I guess you could start with going east over the Dumbarton won't pay toll if you're going that direction. Then head north on I-880 to CA-92 W (San Mateo Bridge) you will be paying toll to go across $4 Then you'll want to get onto US-101 N and head to I-80 E Bay Bridge Next go on I-580 to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge I think you'll get the $4 toll on that one too. Finally head back down US-101 over the Golden Gate and I think the toll there is $6. Now the airport is not actually in San Francisco its about 13 miles south. Stay on 101 Have fun! Stop and park prior to the Golden Gate take a walk and look around so beautiful out there! http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=US-101+N&daddr=US-101+N+to:I-880+N+to:US-101+N+to:I-80+E+to:I-80+E+to:US-101+S+to:37.613874,-122.397866&geocode=FXMXOgIda0i8-A%3BFWy1OwIdqhi4-A%3BFWBBPgId3By5-A%3BFVMRPQIdsd21-A%3BFfWdQAIdCYS0-A%3BFWA0QQId5u21-A%3BFUDaQgIdjoqy-A%3B&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=6&mrsp=7&sz=16&sll=37.615302,-122.398016&sspn=0.007972,0.015643&ie=UTF8&ll=37.596688,-122.433872&spn=1.020609,2.002258&z=9

Take Dumbarton Bridge to Fremont 880 *(no fee) 2. then Hayward take 92 San Mateo Bridge back to San Francisco ($4) 3. San Francisco Take the Bay Bridge 4. Then take Bay Bridge to Oakland (No fees) 5. From Oakland take 80- to San Rafael Bridge ($4) 6. from San Rafael Bridge - take Golden gate Bridge. ($5) $14 in toll fees.. hope this help
