Hi everyone. My father was a truck driver who died on the road this past November. The open road was something that he loved dearly and in remembrance of him my mother and I would like to go on a road trip next summer. The only problem is: I have no idea how to plan this trip. There are so many wonderful places he was able to take us on vacations and so many memories that I just don't know where to begin. The only thing that I'm sure of is that we wish to go from Maine to California. One of my mom's favorite vacations was in Maine and although they grew up in the same town my parents didn't meet until they went to California. Do I need to plan hotel stays? Do I need to plan the exact route or is it best to just follow the road? I'm not sure where to begin and any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sarah
