Travel Destinations and Memories !!!

Oh yeah and ...
Planning a one-to-two week car trip on Route 66 this summer. I live in DFW, but don't really care about where the trip begins or ends (meaning we can take a flight on one end or the other.)

Anybody out there done a car trip in this part of the country? How long should I allot? Which destinations are can't-miss? And ya know. Other questions.
 
Route 66!!!

Pygmalion, as perhaps implied by my avatar(!), much of Route 66 is near and dear and very familiar to me. I'll have to work on describing some of the "greatest hits" from the Mother Road, as the days of spring unfold before summer! I've had moments on Route 66 that surpass my entire life...

:cool:

yeah, had some really good (and really bad) times on our route 66 trips. a nd actually lived on the road for 7 years. so a lot of it was just finally normal part of everyday life and travel. that's why I have to actually give it some though
 
A Greatest Hit from Route 66: Blue Whale in Catoosa

On Route 66, there is the potential for a surprise around every corner. One of the "Greatest Hits" is the Blue Whale in Catoosa, by Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was built as an anniversary gift, long ago. Traveling on the Mother Road, the time travel is palpable: to an America from a bygone era...

the family took route 66 for a good while on a trip out to santa fe...i thoroughly enjoyed it...the kids thought they had died and gone to hell...but I tend to like the desert so...it was all good in my mind
 
as for travel, i don't have alot of specific reccomendations, but I will say that 4 of the most delightful places i have ever been are; santa fe, montreal, st martin, and costa rica
 
lol that thing is cute whatever it is


So I think I'll tentatively plan to go to NYC for Manhattan State, my best guy friend should be officially moved out there by then, so I'll have a place to crash. Get to visit him in NY and see a comp, good deal.

WW, notice the slide on the side of the Blue Whale. It used to be a swimming lake. Now it's one of the most beloved Route 66 icons...

Wigwam Motel - Another Route 66 Icon !!!

Another simply precious Route 66 icon is the Wigwam Motel in the San Bernardino area of California. If you recall, in the animated movie Cars they had a Wigwam Motel there, too--Cars being centered around Route 66...
