The site that helped me start thinking is www.roadtripusa.com. If you WANT to do one of the trips on the map you should buy the book, which I’ve seen in many book stores. If you want to just get an idea of your options and tweak it and play it by ear, I don’t think buying the book is necessary.
My goal is to get across the country without insanely rushing but also not stopping for all the tourist stuff. I have an agenda to get to NY in less than a week, so maybe some people will consider this rushed. But since the truck drivers tell me it’s a 4day trip max I designate myself ‘somewhere in the middle.’
I went to Borders and bought an amazing map from Street Wise Maps (www.streetwisemaps.com) and I love it. It’s a dry-erase map so I can mark it up and erase if/WHEN I need to. One side is a map of the country with lots of highways marked. But the backside I love… it marks the major cities and shows you the mileage and driving time between each. This makes my road trip so much more tangible and easier to plan… I LOVE IT!
