ill have to keep that in mind , i been on tuns of road trips and always been able to stay awake till we got there , but never drove , i will have to find a place to sleep for the night , hopefully past the Virginia's cause it should only take me about 6 or 7 hours to get past all that , and i could probably find that place is mount airy , in north Carolina i stayed at 2 years ago for the night .. just forget how far away it was from the highway , lol im afraid im going to get lost and rack on another 2 hours or so .. lol i dont think ive ever seen a hostel , or i would stay there , sounds affordable , cause the motel in mount airy was kinda , dirty ..... lol but it was an old family run place , and the only place i could find that would let me stay at 18 ...

but question ~ :) ... if my trip is about 14 hours long .. how many hours should i drive in one day ? or since my trip is about 700 miles , how many miles should i estimate to do in one day . that way i can figure out where i might be , to being able to find a place to sleep , and see what that area has to offer to stay at for the night :)

thank you for helping me out with this .. no one in my family really said anything about not doing it in one day , they all said if i was going on the trip , i should be able to do it in 1 day .. but worried about me getting mugged and stuff ... more then getting in a car accident .
