I presume that you will go by plane and rent a car there - at least I hope so.
I've driven from Luxembourg to Romania twice and it's ... quite an experience. Roads are sometimes OK - often not; and when they're not, it's often without warning (like an unmarked pothole the size of a Hummer). So don't expect to enjoy the landscape while you're driving, you'll be too busy avoiding the craters.
Bucarest traffic is awful! The number of cars has exploded in recent years and all the nouveaux riches have bought monster trucks which they drive as if there were no tomorrow. Use the metro instead - it's dirt cheap and much faster.
On country roads things are calmer, but beware of horse-drawn carriages (often unlit at night), cows and other animals in the middle of the road. And in just about every village you pass through there'll be a cop waiting to write a ticket - and if he's been waiting for too long ... he'll make something up! For 10 euros you'll be on your way again.
Have a nice trip - and enjoy!
Regards,
Caspar
