My boyfriend and are planning on driving LA to NY in May 2007 to round off a round the world trip that we're going to start in Jan. Although it' seems a long way off at the moment we're going to book our flights soon so I need to set a provisional date for flight home and so I also need to know how long we'll be driving for.

At the moment the plan is to spend about 3 weeks doing it. Is this the right amount of time? We're both eager to see a lot more of the US than we've done before, my experience being limited to theme parks in FL so far, but being from a teeny tiny country I really don't know how long this is going to take.

Also, what should we expect to pay for motel rooms?

We're also very open to suggestions about routes. Although we know we want to see the South we've not got fixed ideas really. Any comments welcomed! :)
