Re: Route 66
The Wife and I did a 10 day trip from Cleveland, Ohio to Sedona Arizona this past summer. We picked up Rt. 66 in St. Louis & basically got on and off all the way to Flagstaff.
Some very cool stuff to see, but there are a not really a ton of things to do. A friend is a big fan of the CARS movie, so we found a web site and hit a bunch of the landmarks that were incorporated into the movie.
Don't forget to stop for a steak, and chili at the Big Texan in Amarillo (Need that drooling icon placed here!).
The whole trip was awesome. Spent a couple days in Sedona and did a side trip to the Grand Canyon (our first time) on the return trip.
We even took the dog. I thought that was going to a hassle but he did great and my wife had pet friendly hotels lined up all along the way.
There are somegood Rt. 66 guide bookds and check each states tourism site. My wife found some cool Rt. 66 maps with all of the cool stuff to see.
Good luck you'll have a blast!
