I've done a few road trips in my life but always from Miami to NJ and back....pretty boring stuff, not too much to see.

In early November I will be making my way out west to Los Angeles! Needless to say that I'm crazy about this trip and I just can't wait for this dream to come true...

I'm planning on hitting these cities:

New Orleans, San Antonio, El Paso, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas then finally getting to LA.

The big portion of the trip is on I-10....is that route scenic at all or should I look into taking a more scenic route? I'm hoping to drive through the desert at one point (like the roads you see in movies through an aerial shot, especially Forrest Gump) =0) wooooo hooo

Any suggestions, tips or wisdom you would like to pass along would be great, thanks guys!
