Needed help from some Canadians

[carmey012]

Hello everyone, I have a very similar question as the other group of girls who wanted to travel across America but mine is slightly different. Me and my 2 close friends would like to go on a trip after we graduate because we're all going to different universities. We have never done such a thing so we're kind of confused where to start. I'll tell you what we know.
There will be 3 of us.
We're not far from Toronto so we're pretty close to the border.
I'll be the only 18 yr old after graduation, their birthdays are closer to winter.
We'll be driving my car.
We are not 100% sure on destinations but we are thinking going down through Buffalo, hitting New York and eventually get to Florida.
One of my friends only wants to stay in motels but I'm trying to convice him we should go camping b/c he's never done it and i figure it might be cheaper.
We have already taken one day trip to Toronto for shopping on boxing day and we're plannin a weekend trip after prom so we're going to have some experience before the summer hits.


So we would desperetly like some advice on how to plan this out, how much money we would need, how long you think this could be done for some ammatures. umm... thats all I can think of right now, so can you PLEASE! give me some of your great advice. It's muchly appreciated!
