If you have triple A(AAA)they can show you the best routes to take,how to avoid roads that have heavy construction going on ( they will map out the best and safest route to where you want to go),and also they will find the cheapest hotel rates including coupons for activities when you get to your destination or just traveling thru.If you don't have triple A,find a friend or family member that does and you can use theirs for this service. Also if you have certain towns that you may want to stay at, get ahold of their Chamber of Commerce}. They like to help just to get people to visit their area and attractions.I hope this helps you...Be safe and have a wonderful time.
