Planning the drive

So, The driving time from Poughkeepsie, New York to Yuma, Arizona according to MapQuest is 1 day 17 hours and 4 minutes. Nicole's and my drive time estimate is about 1 day 10 hours and 2 minutes, that is without getting pulled over for speeding, *fingers crossed*. And if I don't drink all the water and Nicole doesn't drink alot of sweet tea, we could cut another hour or two out of bathroom stops, because I always have to pee whenever i talk to her for some reason.

While looking at MapQuest we noticed that there was a calculate fuel cost. We decided to try it out...The average MPG we guessed is 22, which than equals around $350 of gas, we are sooooo screwed since we have about $200 in cash and $30 in coins. We also have some speeding tickets we have to pay for. Between the two of us a total of 4 in less than a month. Oops.

We also have one issue about driving straight through. I mean Nicole and I are perfectly fine driving it straight because Nicole is wide awake driving throughout the day time and I can drive nights no problem, as long as we have some good CD's made (which we will because half of them are going to be DJ AM). The problem is our parents. They always gotta look out for our saftey. So we came up with a plan. We'll tell them what states we're going to stop in to "stay the night and sleep in a motel". Will we actually do it? Yea rightttttt.

So we planned out what states we'll be having a sleep over in.

First sleeping stop: Indiana, 12 hours into the drive and 28 to go. As Nicole stated, "My dad would be very thrilled that we would be stopping in Indiana because of his favorite team, the Colts." (Boooo, Go Giants :p)

Second stop: Ten gallon hats here we come, Texas. From Indiana to Texas, it's a 15 hour drive. That would leave us with 13 hours left of driving till I'm back in Jamie's arms forever and convincing Nicole to stay out there.

Third and final stop: YUMA ARIZONA (well I could care less about that, for me the final stop is Jamie's arms :) )

So far that's our planning of the drive, oh and if you know our parental units...shhhh we're stopping in those states to get some shut eye.
