Driving New York till California in august suggestions?

Hi I am from the Spain's Basque country and this august I have vacations of four weeks in total. My dream is to drive in the car from New York City till California but I never done this and I need help!!! There is me, my girlfriend and her mother (¡¡!!) and she is difficult woman so I have to plan this perfect trip and not have problems.

Five days in the big Appel is enough? And how long time it takes to drive to L.A.? We should go by the route of the North, through Chicago and Jellowstone park and then Las Vegas? Or is more interesting to go by the south to see Washington and Texas and the Grand Canon and all that?

Any recommendations, I thank you, I am planning the trip now and I dont know if I do this trip again, so now has to be perfect!

Also hotels, not expensive but nice?

Eskerrik asko! (that's "thanks" in the basque idiom)

No worries, my friend.

Join my travel following on Facebook under

World Travel List

and check out my web site, look under California , for example or NYC , you will see lots of hotels and tours , vacation rentals on my site

http://worldtravellist.com

Also the part of the U.S that most facinates me, is the Western States of Colorado , Utah, New Mexico and Arizona

then one of the greatest places on Earth is California.

All the best, Nick
