Dennis and I took a trip to the Upper Peninsula as practice for our trip on Rte 66. Dennis took this picture of our Honda and we will take road pictures that include this car so we can see how well the car fares on the road as well as how well we fare. We've talked about how much fun it would be to do the trip in a vintage convertible, but this car is pretty reliable and gets decent gas mileage - and it is beautiful.
Packing is the usual challenge! With the space limitations we have, I do not want to waste it by over packing clothes I am not going to use. This isn't a fashion show, it's a road trip. We want to include a guitar, a small cooler, and a tent - just in case we see a great place to camp along the way. The plan is to stay in vintage motels as often as possible. One friend told us about another group he knew that traveled the Mother Road with the goal of not staying in any motel that cost more than $30 a night. I'm pretty sure those days are long gone, but we'll let you know what we find.
