I'll have to fly into ICT and then drive her back to the Southern California coast. It's 1400 miles if I take the 54 out of Wichita to 40 route. If anyone has any recommendations on the best route to take so that it breaks up into three 8 hour driving segments (not sure that is possible) that would be stellar...and any tips in general on cross country driving in a newly purchased USED car would be very welcome. =)
