Title: Route 66
Post by: Toby on 29 January 2013, 11:05

Any one ever done it?

I said I'd take the mrs to Vagus for her 21st been looking into it, and figures why go for a few days I'd rather do this!

Recommendation on who to book with? Or would I be better doing it all separate?

Me and the Mrs have been looking into it recently.

It looks like a 3 week job to drive from Chicago to LA and there is around 1800-2000 still driveable miles.

Theres loads of car hire and hotel packages available but it works out expensive. Its looking like £6Kish for the two of us.

Watch Billy Connolly's route 66 programme that was on ITV a few years ago to get you in the mood!
