I havn't done any of the spesific ones you mention but i did a 32 day roadtrip from New York to San Fransisco a couple of years ago. It was the best 32 days of my life so far by the way.

We were 3 friends travelling together. We only had the plane ticket home from San Fransisco planned. Everything else we decided along the way, although we all had some places we wanted to visit in mind. We started off by spending 3 days in New Your(if you go there you should spend more than 3, but we had so many other places to go as well). We rented a car on the 3rd day and set of for Washington DC. Spent 2 days there and set our course furhter south towards Florida. It was a long straight drive with not much to see before we ended up in Daytona Beach Florida. The city most famouos for the Daytona 500 races was awsome. Great night life and a laid back surfer culture. We went from there to Panama City Beach and experiensed Spring Break by coinsidence which turned out to be a great party! Also stopped in Orlando before that and visited the Epcot Center at Disney World...

I just realised that it would take hours writing the rest of this story..so i'll stop it here and just say that we had the best trip ever. Some of the highlights from the last 23 days were New Orleans, Tunica(gambling place north of New Orleans), an aligator safari, Memphis, Graceland, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Rosswell, Texas, Playing golf several places, Grand Canyon, LAS VEGAS BABY!!! (The best 4 days of the trip! And so much more than just poker and gambling, although we spent alot of time doing that to!), San Diego, Sea World, LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Universal Studios, Highway 1, San Jose and of course San Francisco.

My best advise to you is to not plan every litlle deatil of your trip as our best memories are the unexpected things we encountered along the way. Like snow in the dessert of New Mexico, getting arrested in Florida, Great scenary along the road and so much more!

Enjoy your trip and have the best time of your life!
