Hey guys,

So this is my first time posting and my first day even registered on the site!

I got this idea ingrained in my head that I want to do a road trip from NYC (where) I live, to New Orleans. What had inspired this trip was that I recently went to the Midwest for the first time and realized whole I was there that even though I've lived in the U.S. all of my life, I have yet to see most of it.

My goals for this trip would be to see the oddities of the southern states we pass through, as well as some of the less crowded tourist spots.

At this point, I'm imagining 4 days for the trip down.

I'm really inexperienced when it comes to planning road trips, so any suggestions on general route and some special spots you may know would really help me out.

Thanks!
