Yes I'm going back to Cali. My employer is paying for people to pack and move me and also gave me a $15,000 tax free lump sum for expenses. I can have my car shipped or drive it and get paid 55.5 cents a mile. If I fly I will have to pay for the ticket out of the $15,000 (that I don't have to account for)... that got me to thinking: when again in my life am I going to have a chance to drive cross country?

I'm leaving from Bristol, VA to Bakersfield, CA. Every map says to take I-40. Anyone have any other suggestions? Taking I-40 I plan on making hotel stops at the following stops-

Memphis
OK City
Albuquerque
and deciding between Lake Havasu or the Grand Canyon for the final night

Any places to stop to eat along I40? Help me out... I don't want to be arguing with R-star at a truck stop on my iPad as a break.

Cadillac Ranch is just off I-40.

edit: If I remember at work tomorrow, I'll ask some people from Arkansas if there are any must eat places just off of I-40

If you want a REAL experience, stay in Laughlin, NV! One of few places on earth where Women's Hee-Haas are looser than the slots!

In all seriousness, I-40 from Flagstaff to Barstow is a terrible drive and boring as hell.

I did a similar drive, but I stopped in STL and Albuquerque, however I was lucky enough to end in SD . I would definitely stay near the Grand Canyon if you dont want to finish the drive to Bakersfield. The sunrise is amazing.

Sedona, Arizona is near I40. I think it's the most beautiful city I've ever been to in America. It's funny, I had a roommate in college and he once told me how when he retires he wants to move to this beautiful city in Arizona and I said the same thing and then we realized we were both talking about the same city.

You should stop by and grab some food there maybe walk around.

Boring if you're driving alone. But if you're going that route and you've got a group of people with you, you don't even realize it. On the way back, though, from Vegas to Barstow when everyone is tired as ****, that's when it's the worst drive.

Yes... Yes it is.

You get to pass the meth-junky town of Needles, CA. I kid you not, that is what it's called. It's a terrible drive, I went from Barstow to Laughlin in March.
