i am relocating from west michigan to san francisco with 5 cats and 1 dog-possibly another human if i can rope someone into taking the trip with me. i am directionally and navigationally challenged and can not read a map to save my life. i need very clear directions like: go up to the walmart and turn right; go up to the 3rd light and turn left. i have looked on mapquest and have a general idea that i need to end up on 80 and follow it for a lot of miles. i am figuring that it will probably take me about 4 or 5 days if i just take my time and stay within speed limits. i would like to map my trip out so i can find hotels along the way that will allow pets. does anyone have any advice or experience on this that may help me and my pets make this trip safely and reasonably happy?
