Been there and done that.  I can be as soft as anyone given circumstances.
There was a time when a cross country trip meant camping, sleeping in the
car (a Toyota Liftback for one), or just driving through the night.  In
fact, I have driven through the night and slept in the day simply because
of the heat and no AC back in the day.  Today, a cross country trip mostly
means hotels except when we reach a camping destination, rather than along
the way.  mcneely
