This looks like a great place to obtain advice and input on a situation I have with my 19 yo daughter who has decided she is going to drive from New Jersey with three of her freinds to San Diego. They are all decent drivers but are lacking any experience in long road trips. This whole endeavor screams NO!to me and im trying to solicit enough experienced advice that I can present her with that would cause her to rethink the trip. Having never gone farther than up and down the east coast myself I dont have any further first hand experience than that to offer her. Im aware of the magnitude of different issues this kind of trip presents. I have voices to her these concerns but coming from those who have planned it and done it and know the pitfalls and risks it may carry some more weight..Its still in the discussion pahse so no concrete plans reservations etc have been made. Thank you very much for helping out!
