A little over a week ago my family and I made a 4,200+ mile journey across the country to move from New Hampshire to Portland, Oregon. I had never done a cross-country drive before, and other than a snowy first day, things went exceptionally well.  Not wanting to take any chaces during the winter, we took a longer southern route and didn’t rush ourselves – the trip took nine days. Among the sites we took some time to see were the Painted Desert and Grand Canyon in Arizona, and the Sequoia National Park in California. We also stayed with some friends in Santa Fe, NM and spent an extra day there to explore the area.

Having a GPS navigation system took a lot of the stress out of driving, and I’d highly recommend one. Major props to my Garmin Nuvi 305 and Honda Civic for being so reliable.
