If you're planning on doing it in 1 day, get a second driver to help you
out. I've done 900 miles in one day (took about 15 hours), and it can be
tiring, regardless how much you love driving. If you don't have a second
driver, split it in two days - your drive will be much more enjoyable, not
to mention safer.

Cheers,
