I'm sorry, but that is some funny funny shit. On the rd trip I would drive till I started halucenating, sleep till I wake up, drive some more. A 1-3 hr nap usually gave me enough to drive another 16-20 hrs. Of course I slept for like a week straight when I got home but that's another story.

Depends if that other Caravan comes together.

Which other Caravan? The canucks? They generally take a route that is much farther inland. The VA guys? There's 2 VA caravans that I know of, then there are a few of us that are thinking about driving to TX to "meet" someone before heading the DGRRXI  So yeah, lemme know what you're planning, would love to cruise down with ya. And I haven't even mentioned this to any of my Jersery/NY friends yet and there is another guy right herre in CT, about 10 minutes away from me so it's gonna be fucking aweseome. Much better than the Honda I cruised down with a few years ago
Regarding your travel plans..... a few facts to help you decide/plan. If we make a stop in VA it'll be roughly a 6hr drive taking the more direct rt, but if I swing by Daves for anyreason, and one might be to pick someone up, it'll be closer to a 6.5-7 hr drive. Then it's about 7.5hrs to DGRRXI.
I don't know what your tolerance for driving is, or if you've got a set limit that you want to drive per day, but the outlets in ME aren't that far from me. Freeport is a little over 5 hrs away, Portland is a little under 5 hrs away. There are also some outlets in Clinton CT which are about an hr from me. So there are shopping options as well.
Since there are a few canadians in this thread, what are someo of your intended routes?
