Hi everyone :)

I wanted to say first of all this is a very awesome forum.

I'm almost 19. This is my first solo road trip. I'm planning on driving from Oklahoma City to the Detroit-ish, MI area to see my fiance. I originally planned on doing this trip in one day, but after reading the "How far should you drive in one day" thread I'm not so sure. I'd like to do it in one day, but obviously if I can't it's better to be safe than sorry. I'm getting very different answers from one person to another. Any tips? I'm nervous and excited, it's about 8 days until I'm leaving.

This may sound like a silly question but is Mapquest directions okay for long trips?
