When we head east (which means a "loss" of an hour three times on your trip, over several days), we often get an early start, then stop for a more substantial breakfast than one gets at the motel...

While that does seem like a good deal, you can reserve it yet still keep your options open. If you're a CostCo member, they have a travel service with connections to many car rental places. We used...

My family suggested that there's a new BBQ place in Salina that they like better: Wild Boar.

As for EZ-Pass not working on the KS Turnpike, that may be true. I said "many transponders", but not...

Salina KS -- I have family there, so I've gotten to know it fairly well.

Overnights - We've had overnights in Best Western Plus (our favorite), Quality Inn, Holiday Inn Salina, and both of the...

This proves to me that most insurance companies would rather not buy you a complete new car or (in our case) a new roof. If it costs too much, they either "total" it (car) or decide that it was too...

My question as well. I've had to deal with two insurance firms myself in the last 2 months. Not fun, Rick, I feel for you.

There were more down in San Diego County, as well. One is in the Otay Wilderness Area (near the border with Baja California) which was growing quickly last I noted. So far, my old CA stomping...

Theft is mostly preventable. LOCK your vehicle when you leave it. Take your keys. Keep valuables out of sight, even if you don't think it's worth much. (If you leave an old camera in sight, a thief...

To tag onto what Rick suggested for Flagstaff: Hubby and I have overnighted there a few times. Sleep Inn is a pretty good place, for instance, but I wouldn't recommend the Travelodge. It's just way...

Thank you for the photos of Tucson. Many years ago, I lived on the NW side -- my old haunting grounds are now under the I-10 Twin Peaks interchange. That wasn't far from the western section of...

These photos are stunning! This thread deserves to be 30 pages long with those to illustrate it!

Are you referring to car rentals? Sorry to answer a question with another question, but this confused me.



Some thoughts - Burbank comes to mind. There's a decent Marriott right by the airport...

I've driven through Maricopa many, many times over the past 35+ years, as I traveled between my (now former) home in San Diego and my parents' (now former) home in Tempe. We watched Maricopa Road go...

Using this route (a good one for towing a truck full of stuff), and using the formula of about 500 miles per day, here are some suggested overnights:

Willcox, AZ (520 miles)
Odessa, TX (520...

I was thinking similarly. Renting a truck-car trailer would be cheaper, too. However, at least if you own it, there are no "must return by X/XX/XX date" - generally, 8-9 days on a cross-country move....

I concur with the above -- travel trailers are not good moving trailers. What your SUV can tow, and what it should tow, may be two different things. Trailers in themselves are weighty (even those...

My husband has crossed the Equator at least 2 or 3 times (courtesy of the US Navy), as well as the International Dateline (also USN). It's possible to be in two hemispheres and two days at the same...

Day 13 - Homeward Bound

We debated staying yet another day to see if we could get to Grant's Farm and Hardscrabble, but obligations at home made us decide in the favor of heading home. Still, we...

Day 12- Final Day of Sightseeing

After enjoying that lovely room in the hotel, we tried their breakfast. Normally, motel/hotel/lodge breakfasts aren't something we "do" very often, but we thought...

Was that on Snodgrass Hill, AZBuck?

DAY 11 - TUESDAY TRAVELS

After Chattanooga, it was time to head northwest again toward home. It would be too far to go from Chattanooga to our home in one...

Day 10 - Chattanooga National Military Park at Point Park, Lookout Mountain

We waited a bit that morning, to let the clouds (fog) burn off a little down in Lookout Valley where we were staying. ...

Day 9 - CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL MILITARY PARK

Despite the look of a cloudy day, we started out at a decent hour. First stop, though, was at the neighboring Walmart store for a few things. which...

Day 8 - TRAVEL, ST AUGUSTINE TO CHATTANOOGA TN

Long before dawn, we were awake, had the vehicle packed, travel coffee mugs ready, and took off before 6 am. It was still dark, but you could see the...

DAY 7 - Last Day in St Augustine

Early in the morning, we looked at the things we'd done in St Augustine, decided to catch up on anything we missed that we really wanted to do, and set out to do...

DAY 6 - HURRICANE? TROPICAL STORM? PREPPING FOR HELENE!

Our sixth day was mostly spent doing as much relaxing as we could. We debated whether we should leave and try to outrun Helene, but all...
