To prepare for this 13,235-mile trek, Spot2Nite’s map feature was used to drop pins on each major city shown on the road trip map, a starting point for you to build your own journey with the flexibility with location and date queries, making it easier to adjust plans, add extra days to visit friends, or explore eye-catching attractions along the way. After all, it’s a journey, not a race!
