Route 66 2009
Sarah and I have done a few road trips around the USA and really enjoyed them, for some time we have both wanted to do another one, and what better than old Route 66.
Made famous by the likes of John Steinbeck, Route 66 travels across the US from Chicago in the East to Los Angeles in the West.
We plan on following as much as the original route as possible, but also take a number of excursions along the way.
