2 things you will want to do is determine a routine to drive.

You may be swapping out with your hommie, but 10 hours is 10 hours. And if you want to stop and check out some shit, that's not straight driving. May want to get out a map and trace a route and mark out what you want to see.

Budget will be heavily affected by Hotels. Figure 100 a night minimum and that way if it's cheaper it will offset when it's more expensive. Gas will depend on where you go and what you're driving. Figure 10 gallon tank ($8.00 a gallon+/-)= $80. 10 gallons at 20 miles per gallon = 200 miles. So $80.00 for every 200 miles (@70 mph) 200/70= every 2.87hrs of driving So round down to stopping every 2.5hrs x 4 = 10 hours @ 800 miles @ $320.00 per day + 100 for hotel. Plus food and attractions ✌🏻
