We are about to embark upon the biggest adventure of our lives!

We (my boyfriend, Slade, and Laney) are moving from a podunk town in Georgia all the way to big city Austin, Texas! Over 1,000 miles. Luckily both dogs LOVE to ride in the car, but they've never ridden that far!

We are super excited, but also growing more nervous/stress as the days tick by. Only 35 days left!

Advice would be welcome from anyone!

Some of the things we need advice/help on-

Any tips for traveling long distances with pets. We will be traveling 18 hrs. Suggestions on how to handle potty breaks for pet and food breaks for humans. It will be HOT so leaving the babies in the car while we eat will not be an option (oh yea, and we are driving 2 vehicles)

Hwy 10 will be the route we travel along. Any suggestions of interesting things to do along that route?

We are looking to stop over night somewhere around Lake Charles or Layfette. Any suggestions of hotels/ B&Bs to stay at? We are looking for less than $100 and pet friendly of course.

If anyone is familiar with the Austin area, what are some things we'd definitely want to see when we get there? Best restaurants, dog friendly places, etc.

Thanks a bunch!
