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...

To answer the above questions, everyone seemed to pronounce it "Saint AU-gus-teen." (Though I'd hear San-ah-GUS-tin periodically.) My favorite of the pronunciation changes is in Versailles. The...

DAY 4 - ST AUGUSTINE HISTORY

We began the morning on the upper deck of our lodging, Best Western Bayfront. Some rooms had bay view, but we chose not to get one because of the expense and because...

Don't we just love it when the DOT wants 5 lanes to merge into 1?

A beautiful tree, up close:

We (husband and I) just got back from a 12-day trip back to Florida. This was the trip we promised ourselves, to return to Saint Augustine to explore it further. On the return trip, we stopped to...

Be aware, at the intersection of I-24 and I-75, there is a lot of construction that will cause delays. I-75 in Atlanta - if there are two people, you can use the HOV lanes and they help a LOT. If you...

Please heed the advice given to you. Fuel stations that have fuel, power to run them, and the connection to the computers, can be few and far between in many areas. Hubby and I ran into that as we...

At least for those fly-drives, or when you fly into an area prone to wild fires. Airlines also used to be really helpful with putting you up overnight if you had a flight delayed, getting you meal...

I have read that AirBnB gets into a lot of issues with travelers in regards to many things, refunds being a good percentage of them. Was that your whole stay or "just" a deposit?

I know they're...

As I read about the fires, I thought about you and your trip. So sorry you had to cancel, but happy that all were issuing refunds. That's more than half the battle, there.

Planning on anything as...
