Re: Driving cross-country...advice needed!
When I did my mini-road trips, I'd carry stuff for Super 8 and Motel 6. Then about noon I'd guess where I'd be by late evening, and call ahead and reserve a room. Yeah, you can find cheaper, but you may not like them! But, when you hit a town, you can usually find a tourist information center and use that to find a cheap place.
I'd never let the car get below 1/4 tank. Never knew when the next stop might be.

). When you order, they also send you all the maps you'll need with it. But I think you'll have to walk into a AAA office to pick up those travel books we get for free. I can't remember if they came with the pack or not, but I do remember having two sets of maps because I picked them up with the books and then they sent me the extra set (which work out if you spill coffee and fries on them...)
They're known for their sausage/sausage gravy, but their biscuits aren't so hawt sometimes. Some places we don't have here that we'd suggest and if you've never been: Sonic's (Cream slush!), White Castle (you might stop seeing them west of the Mississippi...I think St. Louis is as west as they go, but of course I could be wrong), Cracker Barrel (If you dont mind a little/a lot of grease...I like their breakfasts, you get a ton of food for like $5. But I always get the Eggs in a Basket, which is not a ton of food, but it's just enough. The hashbrown casserole is good if you like cheese and potatoes. The apples are like eating dessert and I'll eat a bucket of them if you put them in front of me. Their lunch and dinner are ok, too, and worth a try if you've never had like that kind of food before, like I had turnip greens and chicken n dumplings there and that was new to me and good too. Watch out, because some things will come with like 3 sides and it can all pile up to like a huge table of food. If anything, just stop and walk into one and take a look around for a giggle or two; they have a store in the front and often have old-fashion candy so you might find something neat.). I always stop at supermarkets because it's always fun to see what different things they have, not to mention a good time to pick up car snacks.
