We do the AAA trip tik - when we went to AZ, I found that the online one you can do yourself is different from the one you can order online and pick up (as far as what info they show, etc.). I would do both of them so that you can see all the options available to you.
I also make sure to have researched hotels in the areas that we think that we might be stopping. I don't want to be stuck in a rat trap hotel because it is the only thing available. If I know where we're planning to stay, I'll even google coupons for restaurants in that area for dinner.
Good luck!
We usually get a bag of m & ms and some combos. And stop for Chick Fil A.
Seriously? An itinerary? Info packet? For a family road trip?
OMG this made me LOL. I am not the itinerary type of person at all, but my dad always give me a typed itinerary of where he will be when he goes on vacation. They usually do these little road trips where they spend two days in place A, then 2 days in Place B, etc. So he charts it all out for me and I usually misplace it two days into his trip.
DH and I are more like Sulla - we throw some stuff in the car and go...
Re: before you go on a driving vacation do you put together an itinuary
I cant imagine what kind of info would go in an itinerary for a road trip or why you would need one.

Yes.
DH would forget that the rest of us can't pee in a bottle if I didn't!
I usually put in :
Hotel info
Check point info
Rest stop info
we stop every 2 hours for play/pee/food leg stretch!
great idea I just joined aaa
