Midwest to West Coast.
This is a plan for a drive to the west coast to take advantage of low prices for trips to Asia. One has a vacation road trip in either direction, and there are many stops to visit family and friends in both directions and on the West Coast before and after the flights to/from Asia. Since this plan was made some friends and family have moved, so the plan would be altered if used in the future.
