\"Road<\/p>\n

Below is a sample itinerary from a trip our family took several years ago. The longer I have to plan a trip, the more detailed my itineraries become<\/strong>. (For a list of the money-saving sites I normally check while planning, see this post: Favorite Websites for Vacation Planning<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

I’ll admit the hourly schedule is probably overkill (although it sure helped us in Europe when we were juggling so many train schedules), and you may have no need or desire to plan your vacations down to 15-minute increments, but do consider keeping a master list of driving routes and mileage, hotel confirmation numbers, and information concerning any stops you plan to make<\/strong> along the way.<\/p>\n

In this present age of smartphones, I know you can look a lot of these things up as you go, but I prefer having all the details written down in one place.<\/strong> A little advanced planning and preparation can make the journey more joyous.<\/p>\n

I’ve received several requests from friends and readers to make my detailed itineraries available, so that is what I’ve done here. Since the work is already done, I reuse them myself whenever we make repeat trips to an area we’ve visited before<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Scroll down to read a sample itinerary from our family’s first trip to the West Coast, or if you’re planning to visit any of the locales listed below, click on the desired link to view another itinerary<\/strong> in pdf format.<\/p>\n

Happy planning!<\/p>\n
