We want to take a roadtrip...

[meloneyb21]

From Philly to Florida.

I know, I know...gas is high. But we really wanna do it! Hopefully within the next 2, maybe 3 months. It'll be me, DH, DD3 (she'll be 4 when we go) and my DM. If it were just the 3 of us without my mom, we would fly, but my mom has ALS and we think it would be easier for both her and us if we drove. That way she'll be able to take everything she needs. She doesn't get out much, if it all, and we wanna take her on a nice long roadtrip so we can make stops and see/do things in between. She loves the Food Network and the Travel Channel so I know she'll have fun. She hasn't been to Disney since 1990.

I guess the only thing we'll have to worry about is spending money and gas. DH is going to have a credit card designated specifically for gas. Him and I are owners with Wyndham Resorts so we'll of course be staying at Bonnett Creek with our points. We want to rent a hybrid so that we *hopefully* lighten up the gas price load .

Anyway, can you guys recommend any good roadtripping websites? I'm already on Rand McNally as a write this but are there any others?

TIA

Join AAA and then use their triptik program. It's really great! Have fun!

Try the Transportation board here...lots of good advice. I've also found good advice on a website called roadtripamerica.com. We've done the drive from just outside Philly to FL a few times...it's very easy to do it 2 days (and we've driven straight through and will again in August).

Have a great trip

One suggestion I have is to go to foodnetwork.com and look up Rachael Rays Tasty Travels and Diners Drive-ins & Dives, and see if theres anything from those shows on your way down. Your DM would probally really like to eat at the places shes seen on TV.
