I really enjoyed your post! I love road trips and this one made me feel like I want to go for another trip soon.

In reply to NZ Muse. We were worried too and came close so many times, when driving 15 hours a day I would forget to look at how much gas we had!

In reply to Elora. It really was a great drive! I didn't even mind waking up at 4 or 5 a.m. I think a motorcycle would be so fun if I wasn't afraid of driving one! Maybe a scooter lol

OK, the Caddy thing looks pretty cool! Wish I’d heard of it!

I think the only part of Route 66 we travelled was a little bit in the Arizona area. Luckily we never really had issues with gas, we always made sure to stay as full as possible (I was so paranoid about running out!)

Loved this post! And when you mentioned the Cadillac Graveyard, I about leapt out of my seat. Know EXACTLY what you’re talkin’ about! I was so proud, so happy to see the pics. And the pics along the road–incredible. It’s one of my dreams to travel along Route 66–see America. I just can’t make up my mind if I want to do it on motorcycle or in a car first. ;D

In reply to tammyonthemove. England to Germany must have put you through some awesome scenery! That would be a long car ride back :)

In reply to Renuka. I have gotten a few e-mails about that actually! I'm going to write a post soon.

Exciting journey! I want to know more about the travel nursing thing. How to go about it?

Love the pictures. It is such a classic road trip and I’d love to do it too one day. The only road trip I have done so far was a trip from England to Germany for the 2006 Football World Cup. The way there was quite fun, but the way back was miserable as the three English boys I travelled were upset that England got kicked out, and they hated the fact that Germany was still in the game. Since I am German it was a very long ride back! :-)

In reply to J in Beijing. Wow you're lucky! That's so cool. I had to learn to drive a manual in India as well, it's not as easy as it looks!

In reply to Taylor. It really is a area to drive in and is just as beautiful if not more than some places I've seen abroad!

In reply to Kaitlyn. Ahhh I know, I keep looking at that photo missing American brunch!! I hope when I'm old I rent a camper and wander through the west (of the US)

I do love a good road trip. A few years ago my husband (boyfriend at the time) and I went on a pretty great road trip in Patagonia in Argentina. He had his driving license stolen when we were in Colombia, but we somehow still managed to hire a car with just his paper international license. The guy kept asking for his real one. We were like ‘we’ll bring it when we pick the car up tomorrow..’ then obviously never did. But then we ended up with a manual car and he only drives automatic. I don’t even have a license but have had some lessons back in the UK- so I had to drive it out the parking lot and teach him how to drive a manual car! Can’t believe we didn’t get busted!

1. That brunch looks amazing. I can’t remember the last time I had a real American brunch here in Spain. 2. Those pictures of the mountains are so beautiful! I always forget that the USA is a great place to travel and visit. I think since I’m from the USA, I feel like I have to go to a different country to “travel”, but that’s definitely not the case! I need to go out west when I get home!

Hey Rachel!
Your post made me a bit nostalgic!
I came back fro USA less than a month ago and at the moment are writing my memories on it on my blog :D
We didn’t do the route 66 road trip, but we had to drive part of it to get from Vegas to Grand Canyon and then to L.A.
I L-O-V-E-D it! It was my first road trip in USA.
Actually my next post will be about it! Feel free to pass by and read it if you like :)
xx Pam

I’ve always loved traveling in the US even though it’s considered “home base” and wanted to go through route 66. I’ve gone from the top of Wyoming down to Vegas, visiting the national parks along the way. It’s amazing scenery in the west and definitely a great trip to make. Nice tip on the fake graveyard. I probably would have stopped and thought that it was the one!
