The directions state 5 days of driving. I imagine we will take 10-14 days for the trip, so we can spread out the driving with sight-seeing and resting.
Something like this sound good to everyone? Of course we can modify/adapt it as required
Maybe if some European MP3Car.com members wish us to come visit, then let us know where you are, and we can see about incorporating it in the trip
