Default VOR Navigation

I'm planning for my first CX flight from KTPL to KAQO. I'm trying to involve VORs in my flight planning. I know the basics, to fly to a vor, first tune the frequency on NAV1, listen to the morse code. Then turn the OBS till you get the centerline with a TO indication. Fly the plane towards the TO heading on VOR, and make necessary adjustments. To know where you are, you can select two VORs, and select radial from both VORs with a From indication. Make the needle center on both VORs, and where the lines intercept is generally where you are. Anything else I need to know? I don't have a DME on the plane, so I don't know how far I'll be from the VORs, till I cross the Cone of Confusion, and wait for the From flag. Thanks for the help.
