Cross country roadtrip

My plans to do a cross country road trip have been in the making since I graduated from high school. I just never had the means or the time to do it, but I've finally decided to go ahead with it this August, 2008. (or at least that's the plan)

Laundry list:

Boston, MA to San Francisco, CA : 3,100 mi

Duration: According to google map..driving non-stop, and I mean non-stop, I would get there in a day and 21 hours. Scratch that. It'll take me 10 days. The plan is to reach Los Angeles, then drive up I-5N to San Francisco.

Pit stops: Not really planning on exact locations other than a few areas I really want to see, like Yosemite, Las Vegas, Austin, Texas, Memphis, Tennessee, etc I'll just go where the road takes me.

Vehicle: Either it'll be a rent-a-car or a U-haul truck depending on whether I end up going with a friend who's moving to the West Coast for grad school :) Yay.
