Back when I was in my twenties, driving from New York City to Bonita Springs, Florida was something my cousin and I did on a regular basis. One would drive for two hours while the other napped in the backseat. We only stopped for gas and bathroom. Ah, those were the days!

I do understand about the need for speed and the strategy to drive straight through to Denver. Problem is, if they did that, this would be a totally different story. Ah, the sacrifices our characters must make for the sake of the drama!
