3-0 jitters, huh? I just turned 30, but other than my metabolism slowing down, not much else has changed :-) If you get to downtown San Jose, let me know--there's not much to do there, unless you like an Egyptian Museum. S.F. is where it's at.

Unfortunately, due to a family illness, I did not make the trip for my birthday and had to postpone - now I'm back on track for Sept - little nervous about October in the Rockies, but most people have said if I stick to the interstate for that part, I should be okay - if anyone has any advice or helpful tips, please feel free to share! Thanks all! Hope you had a great trip heaven0714!

Hi there! I had to wait 'til 40 for my great road trip, but I'm doing it, too. My daughter and I will head out of NY State on June 30 and head for Chicago. From there, we're traveling along Historic Route 66 all the way to Los Angeles. Our route home includes AZ, NM, TX, LA, FL... then up the east coast back to NY. Looks like we will be in Los Angeles at the same time - my favorite city in the US! Hope you have a great time. I'd be interested in reading your progress if you have time to post it.

Hey all, taking some time this summer to drive around the Grand Ol' USA - have listed out some points where we're stopping/passing through - would welcome any and all suggestions or ideas. Places to stay, eat, see, photo opps, etc. would all be helpful. I've done a lot of review and planning on things we'd like to see/go/stop - but am always always open to suggestions. Thanks!
