Default Road Trip - 3586 miles - 20 states later

In May, I will be embarking on a Road Trip from Connecticut to the Ozarks of Arkansas, then to New Orleans, and then Pensacola, Florida and then back to Connecticut.

Total trip miles: 3,586 miles (excluding sight seeing)

We will be traveling through 20 states total:
•Connecticut
•New York
•Pennsylvania
•Ohio
•Indiana
•Illinois
•Missouri
•Arkansas
•Tennessee
•Mississippi
•Lousiana
•Florida
•Alabama
•Georgia
•South Carolina
•North Carolina
•Virginia
•Maryland
•Delaware
•New Jersey

--

I'll be traveling with my laptop, camera, GPS, and cell phone. I will be doing a service on the CRV before we go.

I'm wondering if any of those who have done major road trips before could shed some light on vehicle prep, things to bring along?

Also, on a tech note, is it possible to use a bluetooth cell phone as a dialer for my laptop which has bluetooth? and if so how? I want to be able to get online, and post pics of the trip as we go :-)

Thanks! :-D

Now that's a road trip, Criana. I think it would be fun to see how many HondaSUV members you can bump into along the way.

20 states, eh? Not bad, but many of them appear to be on the smaller side to me.

Hey SuperG,
You'll never believe but I have been to Wisconsin. Started off in Milewaukee, then to Madison, then up to Osh Kosh and then finally ending in Green Bay. Go Packers!!! btw - I really like Wisconsin :-)

Wildswing -
Have done the Canada drive too :-) Drove to Woodstock, New Brunswick on one trip. And then for my honeymoon, drove to Quebec City :-)

2000crvlx -
I am actually making my trip to Pensacola not only for the beautiful beaches I've heard about but also to meet up with another HondaSUV member from that area. I will be in Pensacola for 3 days (Wednesday-Sat early AM).

If anyone sees there town on one of the routes, I will be more than glad to try to incorporate a quick stop into the trip plans.

I figure, not too often that I'm going to be passing through these areas, so why not meet some people I would never normally meet :-D

Cool. We should meet up. Who is the other person you are meeting up with? Not too many Members down here, although I do see a buch of CRV's here.
