My wife and I, both from England, are planning a road trip but don't know where to start. We've been to the US twice in the last four years, doing LA-Vegas-Palm Springs-San Diego last time and San Diego to San Francisco before that. This November we want to visit again but fancy seeing a bit more of America but aren't sure where - the possibities seem endless!.
What we DO know is that our travel dates will be Nov-8 to 28 (3 weeks). We definately want to spend the last seven days or so in LA, so the start point has to be somewhere within 14 day driving distance. We don't want to stretch ourselves too far so that we end up driving hundreds of miles every day just to get to a pre-set point, which I guess rules out starting on the east coast. Does Chicago sound too far away from LA as well?
Also, what sort of weather conditions are we likely to encounter in November? Our hire car would probably be a basic 2-door economy car as finances are a priority.
The starting city is also important because we want direct flights from the UK which rules out smaller places.
Like I say, the priority is to see more of the 'historic' America - Monument Valley would be great - but at a leisurely pace, not feeling like we can't stop on the way.
Regards.
