NCEP - Road Trip Planning

[jln]

We're contemplating driving and making a road trip out of our trip when we move, instead of flying.  I'm trying to plan how many hours to drive per day, length of trip, stops, etc and I'm looking for some resources to do so.  Anyone know of anything like that?  OR advice?  It will be DH and I, DS and our 2 dogs.

I get out the Rand McNally road atlas and start looking.  I check for interesting things on the map, any decent sized towns I Google and use trip advisor.  I make sure we have time to stop and do things so we're not in some giant rush.  I've found that there are more pet-friendly lodgings available than there were a few years ago, and that's always been the most critical part of the trip--finding a place that will take the dog.
