Sounds awesome. Why did you cut out the return up through LV and Utah?
I've only taken one big (and rather impromptu) road trip with my wife, and that was a weekend trip from Toronto to Charlotte NC and back maybe 3 years ago. I'd been working in Charlotte for a couple years and flew back and forth regularly, but a series of business trips were cancelled and I had literally a mountain of packages sitting at the hotel. Seeing as she had never been and I had always spoken highly of that quaint little southern city, we did the 12+ hour drive on a Friday and came back on a Sunday. Single shot each way in my MINI Cooper S, and me as the only driver (she doesn't have a license). Made the requisite stops for gas, food, and bathrooms, but the only other breaks were an outlet mall stop in either direction (good'ol Pennsylvania).
Years before I had driven a 2002 Celica from SF to LA (drop stuff off with her sister) to NY when my cousin decided to move home from the Bay area. We stopped in AZ (Grand Canyon), Albuquerque, OKC, Memphis, Nashville, somewhere in VI/WV, then just pushed on up to NY/NJ. Really nice drive, very scenic for the most part. It's such a diverse country that every day ended up looking fairly different (and smelling... I'm looking at you north Texas panhandle!). Highly recommend if you have another good road trip in you to go West to East. |
haha oops, I forgot about that - I set it to public now.
We ended up cutting out the LV/Utah part out because I drove down with my cousin (who's from CA) and drove back up with my wife (who flew down). She wanted to see SF, Portland and Seattle so we went back the same way. I didn't mind but will have to check out the other route one day.
Funny, my wife drives a mini cooper and we also took it on a road trip to Vancouver, quite comfortable and amazing on gas mileage. I would like to drive out to eastern Canada one day but would probably need 3+ weeks to do so.
I would definitely want to do a west/east US road trip one day. Maybe in a couple years or so.
