Hi Callanclan Lots of time for Anaheim and Hollywood. Maybe a bit too much? I still think it's a pity to miss Bryce and Zion on a long trip like this but if I remember correctly you already made you GC reservations. I'm sure you'll have a special reason for driving via Fairfield and Calistoga. Keep an eye on 4th of july, it will be busy then. You also won't see much of Death Valley NP, but it will be extremely hot that...

What time of year? How large a motorhome? Here are some websites to help you locate RV parks: http://www.rv-clubs.us/rv_campgrounds.html http://www.rvparkhunter.com/page2.asp http://www.rvparkreviews.com/index.html

Your plan sounds like a good one, Tet. Though arriving in Seattle on Day one and getting to the park on day three with a trip to Mt. Rainier sounds like a tough go. John, how are you with jet lag? This has you out the gate running hard with no recovery. It is a two day drive to Yellowstone from Seattle, so putting Mt. Rainier in there (beautiful and quite snowy). You can do the drive in a day and a half, but there's no getting around 800...

Right on.

Is this your first visit to the States? With two weeks you could fly into Wash DC and make good trip to San Antonio . driving SW across the Blue Ridge, Smokeys, Nashville . Ozarks We truly enjoyed the Charleston , Savannah area, but hardly seems like good thing on way to San Antonio.

Oh, the kids are definitely not bad. That wasn't even under consideration. Some of my favorite students are kids! I think we can all agree the balance and moderation are important. Not many parents want to sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and play little kids games with their kids all the way from Niagara Falls to Disneyland. Not too many kids want to place license plate bingo all the way from Disney World to Pier 39. But if...

Yes. Complicated question. When I was young we made a lot of road trips between California where we lived and the Rocky mountains of Wyoming where I was born and where we had an extended family. Anybody crossed Nevada lately? When I was 10, my dad gave me a map and taught me to read it and showed me how to find the towns and interest spots we would pass. I soon found out where the best hamburgers were and would tell him that it was...

I know it is quite a few miles....we estimated about 3,000. But we have a whole month to cover those destinations, and considering a Greyhound bus can drive from Porland, OR to Portland, ME in 2 nights, I think we will be ok. But it is a lot of driving, but we have a lot of stops schedulued. Any tips on destinations and must-sees along the way? Route 101, Route 1, best parts of Death Valley, Grand Canyon and Joshua Tree?

I'm impressed that your "West Coast" itinerary actually includes all the states on the west coast. Too many travelers think southern California is the west coast! If you want specific tips on some of your destinations, then I recommend you go to those forums. For example, Frisco_Roadrunner will offer great ideas about visiting Death Valley, but she won't see your post here. Washington comments ~ the road in to Mt...
