Overview

I mapped out all the places I want to see with google maps and it should be an interesting trip.  I have a way to pick points in google maps and then download them to my GPS which makes finding those points very simple.  I decided to rent a car because my car is getting a bit old (7 years) and Gloria's car which is newer is a lease so it doesn't have the miles available to me.

I decided to rent a car from Enterprise. It was the cheapest rate and there is one in Teaneck and they pick you up. Because the one in Teaneck is closed on Sundays (the day I wanted to leave) I picked up the car on Friday. It was a new SUV-- Hundai Sante-fe. It was a new car (it only had 800 miles) and even though I filled up my ipod with stuff for the trip, it had satelite radio and I used that for most of the trip.

I was originally going to go all the way to California.  On my first day, I decided it didn't make sense to drive that far, as I was renting a car anyway, so I decided on a future trip I should fly out west to do California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona.  As you can see on the map below, I went as far west as Montana and Idaho before turning around to head back home.
