And I think of standing up in class trying to recite it whenever I hear the word.Īs the greatest river in the USA, the Mississippi provides an iconic route to follow through ten different states along the Great River Road. When I was at school we used to do these spelling tests and ‘Mississippi’ was on my list for about two months before I learned to spell it. The 113-mile stretch of highway also brings you across the ocean itself, so expect epic views.īest Moments from my Trip to the Florida Keys Miami is all sand, surf and art deco hotels whereas Key West belongs to the Florida Keys collection of islands and has a Cuban infusion, as well as some of the best coral reefs to dive in. This sunshine state route only takes 3-4 hours and links up two of Florida’s top beach locations. The Miami to Key West route along the Overseas Highway is stunning. Miami marks the start of one of the wettest road trips in the USA, and when I say wet, I mean from the sea, not the rain. You can drive a bit of Route 66 on the road trip from Chicago to New Orleans via Chattanooga, and it’s one of the best road trips from Chicago you can do too. You’ll also find plenty of those classic diners and motels from the movies to rest your weary head along the way. Also, this sign in Pontiac, Illinois, where it looks like I gave my all for the group photo. Highlights of Route 66 include America’s oldest church, St Joseph’s, in Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico the cool car display at Texas’s Cadillac Ranch and the world’s largest rocking chair in Fanning, Missouri.
Don’t be put off by that though – you can easily do a small part of it and join and leave as you please. Route 66 can be completed in two weeks – as it often is by those motorbikers – but to give yourself plenty of time for top attractions a month is recommended.
