Road Trip advice Posted on: Mon, 5 Mar 2007 13:13:02 +0000 (UTC)

Hiya

I'm from England and me and a bunch of about 5 mates got together and
decided to plan something special for next year. At first, there was
the suggestion of flying out to Florida, renting out a Villa for 3
weeks and just having a blast. But sitting round yesterday we decided
to explore the viability of a road trip (just a short one), because we
think the memories and times we would have would be immense.

We have to be realistic and reliase we're not going to even see a 1/4
of the USA to be honest. But the thing is we have no idea where to
start planning or what routes would be best. We'd like to land in a
city that has the shortest flight time from UK, rent/purchase a car
(don't know which is best), then just drive for approx 3 weeks.

We've agreed that we would like to exclude the massive cities; just
because we can always fly to them if we really wanted to see them, and
keep mainly to the small towns and connecting roads, but with enough
motels/bars/places of interest to stop if we require.

I found this site which was of interest to me:

And had a great number of things they done. Then ideally finish up in
a major city with an airport, sell the car and just take off back to
UK. Any advice from anyone over there would be hugely appreciated as
driving from one end of the UK to the other can be done in 2 days,
lol.

Thanks for your time.
