I'm from England, living in the States and always wanted to do a road trip. Well next week I will! From Ma all the way to the Grand Canyon. I'll be stopping at Chicago first to see a friend then head on down to Arizona.

My question:

Just how much of Route 66 is worth driving along. Will it slow me down considerbly, especially as I want to spend a lot of time exploring New Mexico and Arizona. I have 2 16 days. Which are the best parts of 66?

Also I will be taking an old car, it's been serviced and in good condition, any tips or advice?

Many thanks,

Stu
