The only other thing to take into consideration is time of move. How long it would take PODS, Stevens etc to deliver. We got lucky and had door to door. So we were only without for about 3 days (travelled 600 miles) they dropped us off first

Stress of driving a truck or just driving yourselves, hotel on the road somewhere because I assume you would take at least two days to drive down in vehicle or truck 1300 miles safely.

Wish you guys luck
Thank you for your thoughts. We too have driven it once and didn't mind the drive at all. ad fun on the way down although did it in one day. I just don't care for the idea of my bride driving herself. She is not crazy about driving at night. Hard part is finding a SAFE place to stay and when we want to stop. We even checked with AAA, AARP, some travel sites, etc for places. Not many are going to tell you the "condition and territories" We just know that some of the trips we have taken, and chat often about travelers close to some of the areas we know of how they would be "in harms way" so to say in some neighborhoods and not knowing it. Soooo we will probably drive through and leave early.
Heck... we EVEN thought of bringing down a friend of hers to ride with her and than she could see how nice it is here but she wasn't available.
