My two best friends, my brother, and I are planning to leave Columbus, Ohio on June 11th for Seattle, WA, then down the pacific coast highway to L.A., then through arizona, new mexico, Texas, Louisiana, mississippi, alabama, georgia, and up through Nashville and home. Because of work, we can only do this in 14 days. We are thinking about renting, or borrowing a van or large SUV of some sort, as the largest of our personal cars is a 1998 Honda Accord EX. We will be using the Interstates mainly as well. We want to see as many cool sites as we can, and enjoy the majesty that is America. This is our first road trip. Earlier in the year, my brother and I drove from Columbus to Dallas for a job interview so I have some road experience. I would love to hear some tips, pointers, what to see, what to avoid, and any help in planning would be appreciated. Any thoughts?
