Thanks a lot Dave and Michael
On Friday I plan to target 5 PM to start (will eventually be 6). I have done this stretch before in one evening and agree with you it is quite a lot of driving for an evening. Only thing is that road is quite flat and weather permitting should be uneventful. But since the next day is long, it would be a good idea to stop early and get a good night rest
On the way back I definitely agree - Holbrook to Dallas is a long stretch. I have done couple of 14-15 hr day drive trip and it is no fun after some time. Wanted to get back late Sat night (get a full Sunday before school starts Monday!) but stopping earlier and taking part of Sunday to drive is definitely more relaxing.
I may have some more questions as things get lined up.
