Idaho trip plans

Our first day on the road took <B>us</B> north on highway 395 along the eastern Sierra Mountains. That roadway, I think, is one of California's most beautiful highways. The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range rises straight up alongside the west side of the road with many of the highest peaks in the range visible along the way. As we made our way, we stopped at the Lone Pine Visitor Center for a bathroom break and to stretch our legs. There we browsed the bookstore and took in spectacular views of Lone Pine Mountain and the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. After heading back on the road, just a few minutes nor...

Los Angeles to Mt Rushmore and Places Between

14 day trip

Friday, 8/1 - Well, after many months of planning, the day has finally arrived. We left the house at 4:45pm and got on the road. Took Rte. 84 West until we hit Scranton, PA at about 7:30. We found an old fashioned diner and grabbed a bite. Chick's Diner was packed, smelled of smoke (it's been a while since I've eaten in a place where smoking was allowed), but was an enjoyable meal. It took longer than we expected, but we were out of there after a quick stop for some ice cream for Sophia. Our destination was still 2 hours away and while the girls slept, I managed to drive <B>us</B> to Clearfield, PA f...

Best. Trip. Ever. Cross Country - 08/01/08

15 day trip

We made it to Chattahoochee, Florida our 1st day. David thought that "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was based on the Florida State Hospital located there. Upon further research, we found that there was a movie based on the mental institution called "Chattahoochee" (1989) starring Gary Oldman and Dennis Hopper, but not the Jack Nicholson film. Mona helps Daddy find Tiger stadium at LSU. We spent the 3rd day on Lake Saracen in Pine Bluff, Arkansas (an hour outside of Little Rock). Photo of Tally and David driving into Pine Bluff. We made it to Little Rock, AR today. This is where my Dad was b...

3 Dog Night Road Trip '08

52 day trip

Just trying to finish last minute details before we leave and testing out the yahoo journal. Ok, so we decided to skip Brooklyn and we went straight to DC... The ride done was fine, we didn't leave MA till about 4:30 - got over the GW Bridge about 7:30 and into DC sometime around midnight. Fairly unevently trip other then an eighteen wheeler going into the wrong toll booth and having to turn around and drive against traffic to get back to turn back around and go to the booth that was correct. Felt like I was in the Matrix for a minute... Everyone was still tired but we dragged ourselves to the...

Cross Country Road Trip Summer 2008

41 day trip

Day 2, In Kansas en route to Denver, listening to Bright Eyes (I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning). 16 miles of Kansas left, and thank goodness for that. The person who started calling the middle U.S. the “great” plains was crazy. After 2 hours or so of thinking about it, do you know how many great things I can think of about Illinois, Missouri and Kansas? How about none. Well, Chicago is cool but we were nowhere near there driving through. Despite a very long day starting in Kansas City, KS with nothing but wheat and corn fields to look at for the past almost 6 hours (and that pesky speeding ticket...

Pac NW Summer 2008

36 day trip

"We planned to begin the discover-new-lands-and-eat-lots-of-food road trip on Saturday, but when my 92-year-old grandmother came down with a 103-degree fever and needed antibiotics pumped through her veins ASAP, the trip began several days late and unfortunately, McCall, <B>Idaho</B>, was knocked off the itinerary. On late Monday afternoon, with Grandma home from the hospital, we packed our bags and headed north on I-15. Utah's freeway isn't entirely scenic, so I entertained my parents with Traveler podcasts and Julian Barnes's novel, England, England. "Sun Valley, <B>Idaho</B>, was the first stop. With no ...

Emily's Road Trip in the West

5 day trip

We used kayak.com to find the best flights from the New York City metro area to Denver. We spent $267 each for a direct non-stop flight from Newark airport to Denver airport on Continental. At Denver airport we picked up our ski-season weekly special SUV from Thrifty Rent-a-car . Most car rental places had these weekly specials for around $251 for a week. Including taxes and insurance it came out to be around $300 for the week. We stayed in Evergreen, Colorado with a relative. The following day was a humongous snow storm, so we just went to <B>Idaho</B> Springs to pick up some ski rentals from Maison...
