Answer 2

Have been there three times. It is safe to travel with a family from my experience.

The roads used to be bad on the direct route but hear that they are now better. Some people take the route via Chennai saying that it is better though longer. Rest rooms are ........hmmmm......well..... not the best!

Not sure about how many petrol stations but don't wait till your tank is less than half. Be safe with full tank!

Personally I think that you would enjoy or relax with a 5 to 7 day stay there. While there be sure to visit Auroville and if you want to go a bit further check out the bird sanctuary at Vedanthangal (best time is early morning), rock cut temples at Mamalipuram / Mahabalipuram and crocodile farm nearby. The latter two are on the Chennai - Pondy road. You also get some water amusement parks on this road.
