This is a fun trip people go when they have time or a need. Most people do this when they are relocating or going on a travel.

This is definitely fun as you get to see various states and visit interesting places.

From my experiences, I could say that with a little planning you could really

reduce your hotel expenses and visit several of the attractions along the drive.

The first thing to get hold of is the US map and then the state maps where you will be visiting. If you are an AAA member, this is the best place to get maps. If you are not, buy a Rand McNally. You could see the scenic routes mapped for each state in these maps. These may take additional time from you trip. You need to choose what you like from many of the scenic routes listed in the map. Based on your interest you could plan your route.

Take Interstate 10, will take you from California on the west coast to Florida on the East Coast.

Planning the trip, every day would help you decide where to stay at the end of the day. Selecting a moderately inexpensive hotel/motel would save you lot of money. AAA has a list of hotels that they certify under different prices. Similar info could also be obtained from www.mapquest.com and www.citysearch.com
