Needing some advice.
My wife, 21 month old daughter and I live in Toronto. We cannot get out of work until June 27 and need to be in Victoria, BC for a wedding on July 5. We have always wanted to make the road trip out west and back but we realize that time is limited.

Here's what we're thinking.
June 27 - I pack up our car and travel through the USA through to Victoria, BC.
July 4 - My wife and daughter take a one-way flight out west and we take our time coming back.

My question is, am I crazy to drive out west solo. From what I can read, I'm leaving myself enough time. We just thought that this way we have a car out west and can take a week or two coming back through Canada. I've always wanted to drive out west, especially through the states. Looking for suggestions on how long you think that one person can drive on their own/day? Where should I be stopping along the way? I don't want to be stuck on a boring highway the whole time, but only have a week to get there. I don't have a whole lot of money to burn on accommodations and don't mind staying in motels, inns, etc.
