Hi All, Wow thanks everyone for all your opinions. I am revisiting our trip route and will definitely be cutting back on some things. I have already eliminated the Smoky Mountains and Texas with the exception of driving through the northern end near Amarillo, coming from Memphis. One of the main reasons for heading to TN is to see my brother in Chattanooga. And since we are there decided to do Nashville and Graceland. However, I am going to share all these thoughts with my husband and see how he feels about certain things he is willing to give up and save for another time. I totally get the driving times and confinement in a small space for large amounts of time and I do not want that to become a problem. In my revised trip routes/times I have added 50% more drive time to the "google map" suggested times so that I am allowing for stops, traffic, etc. With that in mind I am cutting back on other things. I would rather get there earlier than later because I have not allowed enough time and enjoy my time without rushing through things. I will re-post a revised trip in the next day or so for another review. I truly appreciate all your comments and suggestions!!
