Travelling The Mother Road Route 66 was the reason for this blog so it seems only fair that I give it a whole page of its own. Here you will find blog posts relating to the planning of our road trip across the USA, links to websites we found useful and the unfolding story of our trip. Hopefully in time it will become a useful resource to others planning to do the trip so if you have any questions then feel free to drop me a line.
These three books gave us plenty of inspiration and help in planning our road trip
All Route 66 Books are available on eBay, Amazon and most good book shops
