The main things I’m wondering about this itinerary are, is it doable? Are there any factors I need to consider? I’ve tried considering the fact that we are going to eat at local convenience stores for breakfast and will just find places to eat during the day. I’m not sure what else to add or say, but any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
