You must have patience, a sense of humor, and an understanding that over a long distance and a long period of time your attention is best focused on the quality of the journey and less so on the schedule and the destination. If every unplanned stop or traffic delay is a source of aggravation it won't be fun. Also, stop when you need to. Pushing on is stressful then aggravating then torture. Stop before you put yourself and/or everyone else through that. That's the best advice that this 40yr veteran who's been all across the USA and Canada can offer. Good luck and enjoy it! Make it the trip of a lifetime until the next one!
