I need Travel advice!!

Anyone?

Just drive there are no border checks. Yet

...GO NOW...ASAP...JUST GOT SMS TEXT MESSAGE FROM AT&T "WARNING OF DISASTER & EVACUATION"...[* youtube REVELATION CHAPTER 18 .WMV]...

Your fine just drive safe

I drove from VA to Fl and back. No problems in VA, NC, SC, GA...had a road block on 95 entering FL, not leaving. Depending where you were traveling from decided whether or not you went on your way or got tested.

You should have no problems. Your car alone is one of the safer places to be. Getting out of CA immediately should be your #1 priority. They will not quarantine you along the way. Kentucky may recommend that you be quarantined for 14 days upon arrival, but most places are on the honor system. Your most important goal should be GTFO of CA!!!!

Drove from NC to NY in Late April and had no problems at all. Saw many others that were traveling long distances as well while on the road. My advice, Just go. I thought I'd at least get pulled over and questioned by a cop during my trip but nothing ever happened.

You'll be fine. My son-in-law just drove through five states to visit his mother. Kentucky was one state on the way. It was 22 hour drive each way. He stopped at a hotel to overnight once each way. So....he left to visit her on a Friday, and returned to his home last Saturday (five days ago). He had no problems. Just tired from driving.

Thanks guys. We will be staying 3 nights in a hotel which is my biggest concern.

We’re driving through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri

God speed John Glenn.

Thank you ☺️

They're open. I was following my son-in-law's trip and MANY hotels were open with restaurants nearby. He had no problem getting a hotel or food. When he put in a day's drive, and was ready to stop, he told my daughter where he was and she'd call a hotel and make reservations for him. Within a few minutes, he was checking into the hotel.

I'm not sure how she did it, but I went onto google maps and followed his route. On the google map, enter your city/state starting point and city/state destination. Click on the car so they know you're driving. They will show your route. You can click on hotels and they all pop up along with restaurants nearby. So easy.

No dude. I traveled by car last month from Spokane to Florida. Nobody gives a shit. Hotels need to make money. I got great deals. I waited until I got to a decent town and then googled hotels near me. They're competing like crazy! Only down side is, most wont have the continental breakfast. Some have a breakfast bag but its like warm yogurt and a cheap granola bar and warm juice. Plan on ordering or eating out. Seriously... Travel by car is good right now. Do not even stress about the signs on the road. Call ahead to some hotels along the way to see im telling the truth.

You're correct. My grandson drove from his college in Miami home to the northeast at the end of May or beginning of June. Thinking I would help him out, I googled his route. I clicked on hotels when I assumed he'd stop, and found a nice one in North Carolina.

The desk clerk was so nice. She said, "Tell him we have plenty of room, and I'll even suggest where he can eat tonight. The restaurant is open till 10pm" She named the famous golfer who owned the restaurant. Now I forgot who it was.

My grandson ended up staying in a house in NC owned by his friend's parents. lol Empty house. Neighbor had a key.

i believe most states leave you alone as long as you're on the highway, but even then you should be ok...for example, i drove up to Massachussets last week, all the way from Florida, and had no trouble. However, in Delaware, i did read that you could be stopped if you were out of state. WEll, i stopped to put gas in Bj's, which happened to be in the city of wilmington...not really close to the highway, and there were two cops in that area and i was not stopped or anything....so drive and enjoy; just sucks that the food rest stops are no longer there, so plan your coffee breaks accordingly

Go for it! Kentucky is a much better place to be now.

I've been doing it before Covid, but I'd take disinfectant wipes or spray and go over the hotel rooms - door handles, remote, bathroom faucets, etc. I went some place a few weeks ago and took my own bedding.

its still America for now better leave soon though.

i traveled from Florida to Pittsburgh didnt do any of that .

To get to Kentucky from California?

Why not just pee in a cup/bottle, take turns, sleep in the car, and drive straight through?

I used to cover 1000 miles a day on my own. Sure, had to leave the window open and the radio blasting to stay awake, but I lived.

I know most people don't, but I guess I'm a bit of a germaphobe.

On the way, why not stop at Garden of the Gods in Shawnee National Forest and make a day of it or spend the night camping? It's beautiful and primitive camping so cheap, and has magnificent rock formations. There an interesting on at Rim Rock because the Shawnee had an emcampment.

Heck you can even park in the lot and stay for free in the backpacking area.

Thank you for all of the feedback guys!!! I feel much better now. I did call ahead to the places we’ll be staying and all hotels are open and actually we’re shocked I was asking.

Seems odd, doesn't it?

You'll be fine, everything is still open. Maybe avoid Texas.

We’re taking the Northern route. I’ve done this many times over the years. I also tried the southern route but it’s too boring.

Although my map wants to take me through Nebraska and I don’t want to go that far North.
