Hey guys,

May 20th, just after college gets out, 4 friends and I are heading out of New Jersey to Tijuana and then back. We've rented a Chevy Uplander, booked all our camping and hotels, and I think I've pretty much thought of everything. I'm here to hope you guys can fill in any gaps or fix any lack of foresight. The trip shoudl cost us in camping, hotels, car rental and gas about 900$ since two of us are staying in Vegas and not returning. Just wanted to get your advice if we are missing anything great. thanks for any help u can give or tips.

Total miles= 7700
Total gas cost= 1100$
Car rental= 1700$ with unlimited miles and insurance

Day #1= Middletown, Nj to Norfolk , VA *camping in Cumberland
Day #2= Norfolk, VA to Myrtle Beach, SC *hotel
Day #3= Myrtle Beach, SC to Atlanta, Georgia *camping in Oakman
Day #4= Atlanta, Georgia to Memphis, TN *hotel
Sun studios and Graceland
Day #5= Memphis, TN to New Orleans , LA *hotel
Bourbon Street
Day #6= New Orleans, LA to Dallas, TX *camping in Denison
Deeley Plaza

Alien Museum
Day #8= Roswell, NM to Phoenix AZ *hotel
Day #9= (4am start)Phoenix, AZ to Tijuana, MX(lunch) to San Diego to Death Valley National park drive through to Las Vegas *hotel
I realize its about a 15 hour day and its cramped but its the only way to fit in Death valley and tijuana. Hence the early start. Is it possible with the three hours for Tijuana?
Day #10= Las Vegas *hotel
Day #11= Las Vegas, NV to Grand Canyon to Durango, CO *camping
Day #12= Durango, CO to *Not sure Yet
Rockies game
Day #13= Denver, CO to Kansas City, MO *not sure Yet
Day #14=Kansas City, MO to Chicago, IL *hotel
Wrigley field and Deep dish pizza
Day #15= Chicago, IL to Pittsburgh, PA *hotel
Day #16= Pittsburgh, PA to Middletown, NJ

So there it is our master plan. We will come close on spending money but after three trips to Europe in two years on college kid's money,roughing it shouldnt be a problem. Gas hotels, camping and rentals are all prepaid. Anything you guys can suggest to help out is very much appreciated. Especially with roadside attractions or things to see. thanks again.
