I will be moving to Florida,outside Tampa in the middle of summer. Because I do not want to sell my car--and--because I have two older pugs, I will be driving from Los Angeles to Florida. I am 62-female-I will have a friend with me. I have a 2003 Camry with 180,000 miles on it that I will have completely refurbished mechanically--and with new tires--before we do the drive. However--I STILL think that taking the southern route in mid June--is taking a chance. What would be the NORTHERN route? Would it take that much longer? How would I find dog friendly motels. I am thinking we will take a MINIMUM of 4 days--and--might just be safer and do 5. Altho I do constantly check weather--I remember full well driving to Las Vegas mid summer--what the heat can do to your car--
Thanks for any advice
