Thanks for the help, definatly taking some of your advice.

As far as the gas goes that is my primary concern. I cant recall off the top of my head but I assumed that the mileage would be 2mpg less than the real world mileage i was able to obtain. I also added on several hundred miles for side trips, local trips, and if we happen to get lost.

I did factor in the 25$ under age fee for one driver. I'm not going to pay for other drivers, just because its easier not to do so.

I have completely eliminated the trip to Tijuana on your suggestions. It really was not realistic. We will just eat in San Diego, maybe hit the beach and then start the trip back.

As far as the canyon goes this was also a concern but I didnt want to have to stay close to the canyon, due to high prices and the need to make soem travel distance. IT is definalty goignt o be a chore to set up camp at night in Durango. At this point in the trip thought here will only be three of us and tension should run lower.

As far as spending time together goes, we are goign to fight. Its inevitable, but hopefully retreating into IPODs will be enough of a relief. Also the car has a Tv, so maybe that will provide tension relief. Definalt y a concern though.

Everything is booked at this point and we will give it a try. Worst comes to worst no one is talking and we are broke. It wouldnt be so dissimilar to how things are once a year. thanks aagin everyone. Any more advice appreciated.

Adding more time isnt possible due to medical and law school obligations. As far as the ballgames go the one we are catyching we have plenty of time because itsd a night game and a only a 6 hour drive. Wrigley field is more of a look and see as we miss the day game. thanks again guys
