How many days I’d expect to drive.

When I’ve had to drive like that I leave in the morning and just drive until I need to get gas (usually at a Costco) if it is at Costco I’d go inside and look for samples while i stretched my legs/ate. That would be about a 30 minute break every 4-5 hours.

I’d do this until I was started to feel like I should find a hotel. I’d drive to the next big ish city and pull out my Orbitz app and find the cheapest hotel and stay the night. I’d go to sleep without an alarm. I’d wake up, shower and head on my way and repeat until I got to my destination.


One time, I tried to go to a hotel but no one would come to reception so I decided to drive for a few more minutes and just kept going. At 3:00 I decided I needed sleep but no way I was going to pay $100 for a room for 4 hours because I can’t sleep in. I slept in my car in a hotel parking lot for 4 hours and went on my way.

Fun times
