It depends on exactly what kind of roadtrip you have in mind, I guess. I think 2-3 weeks is way too long. Even if you don't push it, it's probably like 5 days of actual driving, 6 at most. And I don't see how you could really stretch it past 9 or 10 unless you had the characters stopping for multiple days somewhere along the way, or even multiple places along the way - obviously all bets are off if that's the case.

And in my experience, parents with young kids are likely to push the driving because driving a long way sucks ass and they want to get it out of the way as soon as possible.

You may be right! I live on an island which is like 6 hours across from furthest point to furthest point, so my perspective on things like this is a little... useless? Like when Americans talk about travelling an hour or more to work, that's just bonkers to me, lol.
So yeah, I'll compress that down a bit. Part of the issue, for me, is that they get stuck in Montana and don't make it to Washington - but they don't know that's going to happen, and I don't want to just go "And then they drove for a week and it was super boring and then PLOT HAPPENED!", you know?

Yeah it's tricky. I guess you probably can have day 1 as just the novelty of being on the road and driving, and then if you have them get to Montana sometime in the afternoon on the third day maybe, which is realistic, it only leaves the second day of driving to sort out.

And, IDK, maybe there's some roadside attractions in one of the Dakotas somewhere you can use for a bit or something.

(also, Portland is in Oregon)

da - I would rather cut off my toes one by one with embroidery scissors than spend eight continuous hours in a car

Re: Writing Questions

You don't do the 8 hours continuously, you do breaks for lunch / bathroom / snacks / stretch legs every 1.5 to 3 hours probably. 6-8 hours is the total driving time in a day probably.

Unless you're really pushing, in which case everything changes.
