I would recommend that you and your friends think about what you most want to see- mountains, ocean, a certain city? Then, I'd pull out the maps and start tracing the route. Be realistic in how much driving you can get done in a day and how long you'd like to spend in each area.

I like to use these websites when I plan travel:
www.randmcnally.com - good for maps and a route planner
www.mapsonus.com - good for finding distances and maps
www.roadsideamerica.com - fun, funky website with cheesy tourist attractions...

Hope this helps.... have fun planning your trip!

In addition to those other fine sites, you can also find some cool stuff on this one -- www.roadtripamerica.com We are also working on a road trip planning program which will, (hopefullly) be less clunky than the one offered by our friends at RandMcNally.com

Our preference for the most user-friendly mapping site is www.mapblast.com.

I'm from Boston also. Feel free to email me. I have taken several trips each year and one big one back in 2000. Let me know what I can help with.

I wanted to say thanks for the recommendation on MapBlast... I plugged in two hard to find addresses, and it came up with perfect maps for both... cool!
