Great American road trips

Now that the wonderful weather is here and we're starting to plan our vacations, it's a nice time to dream about trips we might take someday, if not this summer. Here's a link to an article about Ten Great American Road Trips. It includes some classics, like the California coast, and some others you might be less familiar with. Here's the link:

And, in honor of one of the great original road trips, the lyrics to a famous Nat King Cole song:

Route 66

If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on Route Sixty-six.
It winds from Chicago to L.A.,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on Route Sixty-six.

Now you go through Saint Louis, Joplin, Missouri,
And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty.
You see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona. Don't forget Winona,
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route Sixty-six.
