Run on highway is the easiest job to do

Have you hu*****and drive most of time, especially in towns and cities. And you can drive on highway between rest areas to let you hu*****and rest for a while.

Have a map with you all the time. Learn some basic techniques to use map from your friends. Or use map.google or yahoo-map. \

Find a motel on highway should not be difficult. Along major highway and around towns, you will find many motels. In DC, you can either live in outside of downtown region which usually much cheaper, or live in downtown to save some time in commute. Motel outside is really cheap. However,my idea is based on experience about 10yr ago.
