> I think most normal drivers on a cross country trip need bathroom breaks, lunch/snacks/drinks, leg stretching etc. every 2-3 hours. I don't think this is true. I recently drove 12 hours to Austin, TX and I stopped only once to get gas after 6 hours. I don't really like to waste a bunch of time on stops when I have a destination in mind. That said, I don't have a family or anything, so I could see how that changes when you have a couple children with you.
