Road Trippers

I make it a pount to take an overnight road trip with 4 of my kids and hubby--every month

Hello, we are very new to the States, came from Europe.
We are two female and currently we are staying in Chicago. We would like to take about one month (November) to drive our Honda Civic from Chicago to Vegas, LA, Monterrey, San Francisco and back. We have places to stay in California.
Could you please advice us on the best and safest and cheapest way to go? We are not interested in sightseeing along the journey and also we are not profi drivers either.
Thanks a lot for you help and advice!

hello- my wife (Joyce) and I (Roger) have been traveling to China since our son and new daughter-in-law moved back to her native beijing China where they are raising two of our grandchildren out of seven total. We live in Mesa Arizona now from cold Ohio after raising four kids ourselves. Last year My wife had the opertunity to travel to austraila, phillipines, singapore, honkong, and china. She has so many pictures.

I forgot to add that I have traveled extensively over the years, making a total of 97 countries, learning about cultures and the people. I have tried always to avoid the 5 star hotel scene (one every couple of weeks) and have tried to live in rented accommodation to try and make more contact with the locals and see how they think/live and deal with day-to-day situations.
I have also motorcycled Europe, the entire USA and Canada, much of South America, and did a ride from Amsterdam to Cape Town in my younger days........
If I can be of any assistance to anyone wanting to know about certain places, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Happy Traveling ;o)

Hello, everyone, I'm new to this group and would like to share some pix taken in Africa and South America. If anyone would be interested in visiting them they are on my site for public viewing. Have a great Valentines Day and an even better weekend!
Safe traveling!

If I had the time and money, I would be on the road most every day of the month!!

Hi, Im 36 female from London. I'll be in Vegas from 9th to 13th Sept 09, then I want to road trip to Phoenix, Arizona.. where I'll catch my flight back home around 26th Sept (2 weeks to get there) !

If you wanna hang out in Vegas or want to join me for a road trip through some great landscape, please let me know. I have nothing planned except fun and adventure. I'm willing to share costs.

Thanks Pam

Hello fellow RTers.
Thought I'd advise those who might be interested of another website that acters to travels. It's called "Virtual Tourist". It has a number of unique features taht facilitate lengthy descriptions and photos of individual places, but not so much "trips". Anyway, check it out, and Good Travelling!

Hello again, DH just mentioned taking the whole family on a train from Denver to Boston so we can see John Adams house! The price seems reasonable...if we don't get the sleeper car. Hmmm, 2 days in a seat with 3 little kids. What do you all think. Should I go for it, or do you think it would make for an uncomfortable 40 hour ride only to arrive exhausted. I think I might have answered my own question.

Hello!
I've been an avid road tripper for many many years! I have traveled through about 31 states.
Most recent: August 29th-Sept 8, 08: TX-NM-CO-NE-IA-KS-OK-TX. 3200 miles.
I am also a single parent, and my kidlet is very well seasoned to the open road too. Planning to "vagabond" it gypsy style in a few years. Great idea to have a forum like this! Thanks.
