Do you have any advice for others who may be considering driving the Americas?: 
Before we left we read a lot of blogs and books of people doing this trip. In fact, it discouraged us from doing it, because it all seemed so overwhelming. In the end we decided to take it week by week, and not plan ahead farther than that. It's made things more manageable and us more adaptable.

We left with many things not finished on the lists of things to do - that's ok. Make sure you schedule time to relax and take time off from the trip. It's easy to keep traveling and forget that sight seeing is hard work!
