Hey Road trippers,

My parents are coming from South Africa, and we plan to road trip from Atlanta to New York. The main issue is that we only have 7 days, and although I am not very familiar with that part of the country, I do know that there are many historical locations and places, including Richmond, Charlotte, and Washington DC, all along the way. We also want to spend some time in New York. I realize that a person could spend a week in Washington DC and New York alone, just because there is so much to see. I guess I want advice about what is worthwhile seeing and what we should perhaps leave out for next time. I know leisurely holidays are often more pleasurable, but in this case, we are looking to cram in as much as possible. Perhaps when time is not a constraint, we'll be able to spend more time in this part of the country.

Thanks in advance.
