I'd love to take a road trip from Boston to San Francisco over the course of a month or two.

Has anyone done this kind of trip before? Is it too big an idea?

How should I go about planning such a trip?

Thanks in advance

You might be interested to know that Trekamerica run overland trips across the US. I've been on one and they're great fun, you meet others and it saves you the hassle of organising everything yourself. See a travel agent or click on www.trekamerica.com .

Alternatively, if you want to travel independently and you'd like free use of a car (conditions attached, of course!), check out www.autodriveaway.com .

Have fun!
