We are in a position to take five weeks holiday in a single block next year and were thinking about doing a trip across the US.
For context, we are both late 50s and the DC have left home so we are quite flexible about when we travel.
We are considering doing quite a long trip to see a lot of things in those five weeks but I just wonder if we've trying to do too much?
I looked at the total distance and, after allowing for a couple of days at the start and a couple of days at the end of the holiday for doing stuff then it means averaging around 150 miles per day during the trip.
Is this reasonable?
I know that some days we'll likely be doing nothing but driving, but I would also like to look round the places that we want to visit.
Also, any other tips for things that I might not have thought about? The one thing I can think about is internet connection.
What we're thinking about doing is going from New York, through various places we want to see, down to Dallas. From there head up to Yellowstone national park and down to the Grand Canyon. From there, cross over to Los Angeles and head up to San Francisco.
Allowing two days at either end of the holiday that works out at 150 miles per day.
Are we trying to cram too much in?
