Thanks for your input Subman.

Money is ofcourse a huge factor.

The Flight from Vienna to NewYork is about 800$
and the 6 week Rental 'advertised' price ranges from 1500$ (small car) to 1830$ (SUV)

i am also active on historic66 forum where some people claim that it is possible to follow the historic route the most of the time. the route 66 in my map is based on their suggestions.

but even if the historic route 66 is possible to drive, it is still becoming a problem for me because of all the other cool attractions i would miss as my time and budget are limited.

i guess i will have to ditch the route66 after new mexico and carry on with monument valley from there on. i do want to do the complete route 50 though because most of the cool attractions can be done if i leave the route66 in new mexico and head towards san francisco doing all the attractions on my way.

i still have a lot of planning ahead of me.

my goal is to prepare a complete google map of my roadtrip, convert it into a format my gps software would understand so that i can just follow it.
