Route 66

Everyone knows Route 66, right? This famous U.S. route is the main route between Santa Monica and Chicago and is great for those who want to experience the different landscapes of the country. But be warned, you can't drive this route on a weekend! As it spans 2,400 miles, crosses three time zones, and goes through eight different states, it's one heck of a road trip. And it's suggested that you should take three weeks to complete it.

Of course, you could drive it quicker - but why would you want to do that? Traveling through the desert and investigating charming roadside towns is all part of the fun and all part of the adventure.
