I am planning a trip to El Salvador and I need help.

I Need Help Planning My Cross-Country Trip?

• Hey there. I am currently planning a Cross-Country trip with my loving family. The people who will be attending this trip are myself, my wife, and my three kids. We will depart from our house in Bay Shore, Long Island, NY. And we will arrive at our destination, the Grand Canyon, Arizona. We are a pretty decent family. We enjoy discovering and exploring. We also enjoy observing nature. Here are where my problems lie: 1. I am having trouble thinking of a route. I really don't know which sites to see, places to visit, and other things to experience. I have thought a route which includes me to pass through : Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and end at Arizona. What would you perfer? 2. I need a form of transportation. Here is what I am confused on. Should I rent an RV or a minivan? I learned that RVs are expensive to rent yet have lots of room. On the other hand, minivans have less room but cost less to rent. What would you perfer? 3. We will often need a place to stay such as a hotel. If we rent an RV, we will not need a hotel to stay in. This will save us may be $1000. If we choose a minivan, than we need a hotel oftenly. This will cause us to spend loads of money. I really need help. We are planning to go on this trip on June 20, 2009 and returning back on July 11, 2009 (approx. three weeks). To my opinion, if we take the RV, it will come out to an approx. $6,750 cost overall. If we take the minivan, it comes out to approx. $7,200. I am in a mind-boggling situation and I have to get the RV/Minivan reeserved before it is not available or it will ruin my schedule. Please help me.

• Answer:

  I would go with the RV because no hotel and you can cook your own food in the RV and save money.You can park in any Wal Mart parking lot and shop at there super stores for food.Pennsylvania,West Virgina,Virgina,Tenn,Tx,Nm,AZ. Or Tx,Colo,NV,AZ. You could check out Cruise America RV.If you do a mini van go to priceline and bid you own price.I rented a mini van for 2 weeks at $35 a day unlimited miles and put 3000 miles on it from Ct to Cape Breton,NS and back.Which ever you decide enjoy your trip.
