ascanio1,
While I have tried to digest most of your posts and I have commend your careful planning. Your effort to collect the needed information is also much more than I usually expect. Good Man.
There is, however, an issue that you should also study carefully. This has been an issue with visiting family from Europe. The US is a big place.
Yellowstone is an amazing place, but it is about 1000miles (1600Km) from LAX. That may be a stopper right there. Even with two very capable drivers, that is a long way to go. I strongly suggest that you use all the planning capability you can find to determine your schedule. Yellowstone is about a 5 day park by itself.
The Grand Canyon and Yosemite part of the plan is nearly possible. But remember to include that you will lose a day at each end for the acquire and return of the vehicle.
I wish you luck that is hours of driving without problems and memories that make it all worth the effort.

Hi Matt, thanks for the advice. I think that the most important advice that i gathered is not to expect privacy and the second one is that America is H - U - G - E and we cannot use european perspective in planning.
We have already scrapped the idea of 1,600 miles drive and we are more realistically looking at two stops only, and not more than 600 miles apart and spending about 5 days in each Park.
Airport to 1st Park = 600 miles
1st Park to 2nd Park = 600 miles
2nd park to Airport = 600 miles
Do you think that this is reasonable?
