Michael
thanks for your words.
I am trying to make this trip as easy as possible for us. Considering that my only former experiences have been speedy car jaunts from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento etc all of which were just a few hours from L A.
Added factors are an unfamiliar 16 foot moving truck loaded with small furniture and boxed stuff, and winter driving conditions.
Night 3 at Dallas will be fine by our relaxed target of about 500 or so miles per day. Arriving at Destination by day 6 or even day 7.
