Glad you had the opportunity to make the CA trip. That's a major haul.
My wife and I didn't our first big trip this past April, from Long Island, NY to Orlando, FL with stops in Virginia Beach,VA and Savannah, GA. Since then it's been local camping spots on Long Island but once you're set-up it doesn't much matter if you're 10 or 1000 miles away, it's camping

.
Enjoy!
