The future, of course, is here already. In fact, it arrived a quarter century ago.

As of right now, there are three possible routes for driving.

The More Likely:
Day One (Aug 4th): SAN ANTONIO - ALBUQUERQUE - 729mi 12h 39m
Day Two (Aug 5th): ALBUQUERQUE - LAS VEGAS - 709m 11h 17m
Day Three (Aug 6th): LAS VEGAS - FRESNO - 395m 5h 58m
Day Four (Aug 7th): FRESNO - SAN FRANCISCO - 197m 2h 56m
Day Five (Aug 11th): SAN FRANCISCO - SEATTLE - 799m 12h 28m
Day Six (August 12th): SEATTLE - VANCOUVER - 141m 2h 42m
Day Seven (August 14th): VANCOUVER - SEATTLE - 141m 2h 42m

This route gives us a lot of time to stay in Las Vegas and Fresno. Vegas for the Trek show, and Fresno for Emily's friends.

The less Likely:
Day One (Aug 4th): SAN ANTONIO - ALBUQUERQUE - 729mi 12h 39m
Day Two (Aug 5th): ALBUQUERQUE - LAS VEGAS - 709m 11h 17m
Day Three (Aug 6th): LAS VEGAS - SAN FRANCISCO - 582m 9h 4m
Day Four (Aug 11th)SAN FRANCISCO - SEATTLE - 799m 12h 28m
Day Five (August 12th): SEATTLE - VANCOUVER - 141m 2h 42m
Day Six (August 14th): VANCOUVER - SEATTLE - 141m 2h 42m

The slightly less Likely:
Day One (Aug 4th): SAN ANTONIO - ALBUQUERQUE - 729mi 12h 39m
Day Two (Aug 5th): ALBUQUERQUE - LAS VEGAS - 709m 11h 17m
Day Three (Aug 7th): LAS VEGAS - SAN FRANCISCO - 582m 9h 4m
Day Four (Aug 11th)SAN FRANCISCO - SEATTLE - 799m 12h 28m
Day Five (August 12th): SEATTLE - VANCOUVER - 141m 2h 42m
Day Six (August 14th): VANCOUVER - SEATTLE - 141m 2h 42m

This route gives us MORE time to stay in Las Vegas (losing the extra day in San Francisco), with no time in Fresno (if Emily can't get a hold of her friends).
