I have to get from Boston to San Diego in 7 days. How long and how far do we need to drive each day?
I am driving cross country from Boston to San Diego because I am moving to San Diego. Some friends are coming along for the ride who have to get back to work in Boston by a certain time. We leave Oct. 21 and we need to get to San Diego no later than 10/28.
We are driving the southern route I believe, going from 84 to 81 to 40 all the way. How many miles/hours should we drive each day to make that deadline but also stay safe?
I will also have a U-Haul trailer attached to my car so can only go so fast. I would also like to sleep each night. Also, should we reserve motel rooms each morning or wait until we get to our destination each night? Will the motels charge if we cancel within 24 hours?
Any advice about this and road trips in general would be extremely helpful. Thank you so much!
It all depends on the drivers. Pick up the Travelers magazine at the rest areas and use the coupons. 81 will get hilly in North Carolina, especially with a u-haul. This time of year you will probably get fog at night. 40 is fine, except for severe t-storms at times until you get through Texas. You can do it in 4 - 5 days. Just allow for weather and traffic. 600 miles a day max, I would say.
