How I did it: I have always wanted to live on the other side of the country, so when I had the opportunity to I went for it.  I was 23 at the time and it was the middle of winter so my parents decided to drive with me.  I went on line and had a map made out of every turn we would make (we still got lost). We drove 3 days saw Mount Rushmore and the arch thing( I should know what what its called), some crazy driving, we did some crazy driving, missed the same exit in the middle of the night 7 or 8 times. Let mom drive, 5 minutes later she took an exit we did need then swerved back onto the freeway. My car is out of alignment to this day.

Lessons & tips: Don't always trust the map.  Drive with the flow of traffic no matter how fast or slow it is, you are safer this way.
