I traveled with three cats and a 19 YO from California to here. One of my cats couldn't tolerate a five minute drive to the vet, so I really wasn't sure she would survive the drive. The other two weren't thrilled with cars but weren't absolutely terrified. For my fraidy cat, I did give her half a tranquilizer the first day. All three adapted quite well. By day two, there was no howling or even mewling when we got back in the car and on the road unless we locked them up. They ended being allowed to roam the car with their leads on. We blocked the driver's seat so they couldn't get under my feet. They loved looking out the window and harassing my daughter. It actually became an enjoyable trip and all seemed relatively happy by the time we got here.

I can't remember the site name for motels that allow pets I'm sure you can easily google it. I think AAA also has a list of pet friendly places. wasn't a problem at all.

Happy traveling.
