The 3 times I did it in a car was with my daughter. At the ages of 10, 11 & 12. She planned the routes and stops.
When she turned 13 it wasn't fun for her anymore so I went back to doing the motorcycles.

I've only done up and down i95 Florida keys to Massachusetts. Last run was alone about a year ago. It took me 23 hours 😪 one time driving from mass to Miami with my aunt we started leaking transmission fluid when we entered Florida and the radiator blew in st Lucy haha fun times fun times I've done the greyhound bus as well haha
Leaking fluids, mechanical problems, inclimate weather encounters. These are all the types of variables that make for great stories years later. Though, in the present, it always seems like the end of the world or bad luck.
I'm quite familiar with that route. NY to Broward county.
Did it for many years. But, it's been about 10 years since I've last done it.
13 is about when my daughter turned on me too. I didn’t get her friendship back until she was 19. Girls. Ugh. 😉
Yeah. Their friends become a little more important for a bit. But isht normalizes when they get past the teen years. Mine is 27 now and she checks in on the reg.
