My bf and I are moving out to L.A. and planning to live there (possibly permanently) starting next month. We are driving (his Ford Explorer is pulling my little sportscar on the tow dolly we bought). We plan on the trip taking us about twelve days since we are stopping in D.C., Texas, and Vegas. We are going to stay at a few cheap -but CLEAN- hotels/motels for a few nights, and stay at a few campgrounds the other nights. Since we do have a budget and are both new to cross-country trips (and L.A), I was curious if anyone had any driving/eating/new to L.A. tips for us. Any "to-do's" or "don't do's" maybe stemming from your own personal road trip experience?
Much thanks!![]()

Bring a gas can with you when you are going to travel in the desert. Drive through the desert at NIGHT...NOT during the day (can overheat your car). Bring lots of good CD's. As much as I love our TX gals, driving through the fucking Panhandle of TX sucks monkey balls and you will want to shoot your boyfriend if you forget the music (you'll also become extremely suicidal as the only songs those radio stations play only have lyrics that go with losing the truck, the wife, the best friend, and the dog...the story may be different and the music may be different but it's all the same).
