Well.. I recently made MORE cross country trips than I planned..

I took the 95LX from San Antonio, Tx to Great Lakes, IL and back 3 times in one year...

Then:
Great Lakes, IL SOUTH to San Antonio...(the entire country)
San Antonio, Tx WEST to San Diego, CA (there's half the country)
San Diego, CA to NORTH to San Francisco, CA (another long trip)
San Francisco, CA back to San Diego, CA
then.. the kicker..

Los Angeles, CA (ALLLL the way across I-10) to Jacksonville, FL (not a single bit of I-10 I haven't seen)

The overall experience? GREAT! hardly ANY tolls.... Tolls add up quick when you do them both directions, or more than one day... just passing through won't add too much.. I carried two $10 rolls of quarters/dimes, and had about half left, even a year 1/2 later.

Worth it... lots to see.. lots of car time....

Hope you enjoy the drive.

East-West cross country... normal driving...
40 hours

MY time? 34 hours LOL

Sorry for the long post

EDIT: Bring along a CB (citizens band) radio... if you can... can be had for cheap, and REALLY make the time fly... I am not IN TO them, but east to west, there is NEVER a time when there isn't SOMETHING to be heard, or SOMEONE to talk to ... plus the "bear watch" helps... lol.. really eases the driving, on ya... the hours melt away, especially if you plan on driving at night.. really helps you keep awake..
