i AGREE ON CUTTING BACK. sorry capslock.

It's very hard for people to know, before they cross the pond, how BIG it is here. A day-trip for us, with two drivers, we consider to be 3-6 hours max driving, and that allows not much more than hitting the hay after din-din if the driving also includes stops for meals, potty breaks, leg stretching, getting lost, etc. THEN you have to add in time for stopping to see things you WANT to see, and the time to park, get from car to attraction, potentially stand in lines, etc.

Best plan I can think of is take advice from Catters in the designated stop-areas to advise on how long to allot to get to the next, what route to take to avoid crap, how to organize it for max emjoyment and minimum exhaustion.
