How I did it: We picked up our free maps from AAA and planned a general route. We made sure to go through Wilkerson Pass in Colorado due to our name.  Each night we reserved a hotel for the following night using Paypal and we received some great deals!  This was a photo journey, so I took my Nikon D90 camera with me, and clicked away while my husband drove.  The best views were around Sedona, AZ, and the Grand Canyon, although Utah and Colorado were beautiful as well.

Lessons & tips: Do NOT drive 30 straight hours on the last day to try to return quickly to your comfy bed at home. We made it, but Barely!

Resources: AAA membership helped with maps.
Priceline helped with hotels.
Nikon D90 helped with photography.
A journal helped keep everything straight for later.
