This only a 24 or 26 hour drive. A pair of 12 or 13 hours days would do it, with the midpoint being near Knoxville, or Chattanooga, Tennessee.Personally, I would skip spending a quick night like that in a large city and opt for roadside ma and pa type hotel, mostly for interest and cost savings.Or is this the kind of road trip where you want to visit places and people more than drive?
I would use Yahoo Maps. I got a route that says it is nearly 1600 miles. The path is NJ Turnpike S to Delaware, I-95S, I-66W, I-81S, I-40W, I-75S, I-24W, I-59S, I-20W, I-59S, I-12W, then I-10W to Houston. So you can stop every 388 miles and make it in 4 days. That will take a little more than a tank of gas a day on about 8 hours actual driving, plus stops to eat and pee. The first stop will be on I-81 around Roanoke, VA. The 2nd on I-24 after just passing through Chattanooga, TN. The 3rd stop will be on I-59S around Hattiesburg, MS. Do an internet search for hotels or motels in those cities to fit your budget. Be sure you fill up with gas and empty your bladder every time you stop in Louisiana because some of those bridges over the swamps are pretty long. Oh, and be sure to stop in and say hi when you get here.
It s your road trip and if you need to stop every 350 then you need to stop every 350 miles for a napYou will need a Rand McNally Road Atlas and a calculatorthenPick your route i.e.I-95S to I-10WIf you look at your map you will see that the exit numbers are not sequential But reflect the distances between the exits in each state To clarify that:My map tells me that as I cross the VA /NC border my first exit in NC is exit 180 and my last exit in NC before I hit the SC border is exit 2 So I know that it s 178 miles between those two exitsGood luck
welp, you set the counter on your speedometer and when it says that you have driven 350 miles, ya stop. einstein.
