Have you ever driven across the country, and if so, what was your experience like?

I am exploring summer vacation ideas and thinking about possible destinations. I have been wanting to go to Europe with my daughter for a few years now, but there was the pandemic, and still is the pandemic, and in the meantime, we’ve come to really appreciate and enjoy driving trips. I like to drive and when we go long distance, I rent a car so if there are any issues, we just switch it out with the rental company.

Last summer, I drove with her from NY to Wisconsin. This summer, I am just thinking about driving from NY to the Portland area and then doing some touring around Oregon and Washington. Of course, along the way there, we’d stop by some places like Montana, Idaho, etc. and see what we see.

It’s just a thought at this point, no real plans but I want to know about other Jellies. Have you driven cross country, and if so, how was it? Would you share any advice that you may have?
