2 Swedes driving LA -> SF -> LV -> Chicago -> Myrtle Beach, South C in 21 days

[Teodor Hällestrand]

Hi RTA!

First I would like to thank you profoundly for this great website and informational resource.

Second, I would like to have some feedback on the plans that me and my girlfriend have made for this summer.

Is our trip doable in the timeframe we have chosen? (Late June to early July, about 21 days before we have to be at our destination in order to fly back home to Sweden)
We want to spend two nights in LA before going up to SF along the coast. This leaves about 19 days to get to SC.

We have also understood that we should plan for several more non-driving days in order to enjoy attractions etc.

Should we take another route between Grand Canyon and Chicago, or is "Route 66" the preferred way?

We fully understand that we might be a bit too ambitious, but we are only young and foolish once in a lifetime.

I wish you all a great week and summer.
