Hi,

Using the wonderful map center, I now know what I want to visit as I travel from the east to the west coast. But how much advance planning should I do???

1) Should I book all the hotels/motels in advance or just book as I come near to the sights/towns I intend to visit?
2) If I write down all the places I want to visit in the order I want to visit them and just guide myself via my Rand McNally 2009 Atlas, is that enough planning? Or should I use Google Maps to do the whole route? (or use a GPS instead?)

Thank you in advance.
