Day Trips from Jacksonville, Florida
Day trips out of Jacksonville,
Fla., can take road trippers either to the coast or inland
to the Georgia and Florida interior, whose rivers, creeks,
lakes and swamps are the background for some interesting
stories. In less than two hours you can see an alligator,
visit a civil war battleground, learn about submarines
or discover a princess. Anne
Sponholtz takes the wheel.

One-Day Road Trips from Las Vegas
Yes, Las Vegas is a great
destination, and of course there's no reason to leave
the Strip once you get there. But if you've got time,
wheels and a yen to explore a bit beyond the neon, Las
Vegas is also a great starting point for a wide variety
of one-day or overnight road trips. Here are six routes
that will transport you to the wild wonders surrounding
the southern tip of Nevada and still get you back on the
Strip in time for dinner and a show.

Anchorage
to Seward on Alaska's Highway One
With
a single day to explore the vastness of Alaska, Megan
Edwards skipped the package tours and picked up a rental
car. Her solitary road trip along Alaska's Highway 1 reveals
America's last great frontier in all its autumn glory
-- birch trees, glaciers, moose and all.

Fly-and-Drive
Road Trips
Free time
to take an extended road trip is a precious commodity,
and as fuel prices continue to inch upward, the "fly-and-drive"
road trip makes more and more sense. Taking advantage
of air trips to hub cities lets you grab some "found time"
for short-but-sweet road trips. (8/26/07)
