1) Drove 1000 miles from FL to Dallas after I bailed on a Viggen purchase.
2) Drove 1100 miles from Chicago to Dallas with great Viggen deal.
3) Drove two cars (Viggen and a Suburban) 1600 miles from Dallas to NJ all over a weekend.
Booksontape.com - great source for books on tape. I did all the Dan Brown books. I liked Di Vinche Code - it has a good narrator keeps you going and its 13 disks so it will last most of the trip.
I also rocked to several CDs I made out of my MP3s.
I take very short breaks, just to fuel and get a drink, but once a day I will go to a Pancake House or something and sit down to have a good meal. That helps break it up. I also stopped here an there on a scenic overlook.
From Oklahoma City it should be an easy drive. I drove from Dallas through Memphis across all of Tennesse and up 81 through Virgina and through over to DC and up to NJ. The second time I went through kentucky and West Virginia. Beautiful country.
Have fun and be safe. Consider a spare DI. I did it before my trip.
