How to take a trip along an interstate (from one end to the other )
Be prepared for, what could be, the longest journey in your life.
Cross-country trips can last anywhere from a week to a week and a half if travelled for 24 hours a day under a 7 day week period.
Pack enough clothes to prepare you for the trip.
You'll be covering a lot of miles, and with those extra miles, you'll be traveling often. Traveling that often, will necessarily mean you'll have to stay at hotels and motels, and changing your clothes often.
