Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Okay, so I’ve had a lot of friends in Louisiana (Arnaudville to be exact) and my friend and I would love to go meet them. Yes we know they are real, we have their address, phone numbers and have Skyped (video) with them (etc.) so we know they’re real, and it’s not some Catfish. Also we’re going to talk to the mother of one of our best of the friends about staying at their house.
The only problem is that we live in Utah and the drive is about a day and an hour or just a day’s time. So, of course, sense we can’t rent a hotel/motel room we were planning on camping along the way, because we figured it would only be one night. (And trying to get into a motel or hotel wouldn’t hurt, because who knows, they might let us in.)
I believe my friend will be 17 by the time we were planning to leave too. However I will be 16.
We will plan out money for food, gas, entertainment and emergencies, and will pack as many emergency essentials as possible.
I have been to around 15 foreign countries (Germany, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Sweeden, Estonia, Russia, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Caribbean nations otherwise not affiliated with America, Mexico, Greece, Turkey, –going to next week, Spain, France ((revisit Italy I think))–) and an okay amount of states. I feel like I’m at least a little experienced with travel and hope people realize I’m not just some –average– naïve 16-year-old. So, if my father approves, my friend is able to go and I gather the necessary funds, do you think this is a practical idea?
