Hi all, My wife and I are looking to go east to west from late November until just before Christmas. Hiring a car and doing the big road trip. So my question is what are the road conditions like in the northern states at this time of year. Thinking of starting out in Boston heading north then see which way the road takes us. We have a month so time is something we have plenty of....

Hello, I am new to the site and i've already learned a great deal of information about roadtrip. My girlfriend and i are planning to fly from Boston to Denver on November 10, we then plan to drive to Grand Canyon south rim (since north rim will be closed) and will ultimately end up in Las Vegas. We plan to stay in LAS for 5 days before flying back to Boston on 11/24. We just don't ...

Hi, I'm headed off to Orlando from Los Angeles with my almost 3-year-old twins. My original plan was to take the I-10 the whole way, but with all these hurricanes, I'm thinking that that might not be the best idea. I was thinking about taking the 40 through Arizona, New Mexico, heading to Dallas and going south from there. Would this take much longer? I won't have a trailer, just a cargo ...

Hi, I from Russia, I'm fly to US with my wife and our friends in the end of september. We plan travel by car from San Francisco to New Orleans. Our travel plan here I need in your help. In first i have some questions: 1. I'm looking for good and cheap car rental in San Francisco for one-way trip. Could you recommend me it? 2. I'm worry about New Orleans, what do you think is it good ...

Hi All, I'm new to this site and haven't traveled a lot, especially in the U.S., but I'm moving from Virginia Beach to Salt Lake City in two weeks so I'm quickly trying to plan my route. I'll be driving with my car so I'll have some flexibility but I'll also have my dog. Two questions: 1. What are the best routes to take for the most enjoyable experience? I've listed what ...

Hi everyone, As I was driving along the border in Vermont today, I noticed that some leafy trees have already started to turn orange and yellow!! Yikes. I knew we had a cold and rainy summer this year, but I didn't think it was that bad. Also, I heard on the news that more than half of the apple orchards are already in operation in Quebec. I guess I better start making pies. Sheesh. I only...

I know it probably doesn't do the pacific coast highway justice doing it in 2 days, but if we were going to do it, where would be the place to stop for the night. We are also on a tight budget for this part of the trip, so budget sleeping suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

My wife and one year old son and I will be driving from Anchorage, Alaska to Virginia Beach in a few weeks. This is a permanent move and we don't have any time restraints. We plan to stop in Yreka, California (where I was born) and a few places in Maryland where my wife used to live....but other than that, we have no idea where else to go. We don't really have any set route, except for ...

My brother and I are planning a trip in Novemebr to see the canyon and other spots. We are bringing my Dad for his 80th Birthday. the plan so far is to land at vegas 4.30 pm, 18th nov hire a car/suv and then try to get to George/hurricane/zion or Kanab. I have already dropped the plan to go to Bryce. Overnight and have a look around zion on morning of 19th, afternoon drive on down r89 and...

Hello Lan, I took the trip you're planning exactly a year before your upcoming drive, late October 2007. But, it was a speed run to co-drive with and deliver my son's pickup truck to his California base, so we took only two side trips: The Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. The Grand Canyon is readily accessed from the eastern border by leaving I-40 at Flagstaff, thence up US 89 to Cameron,...

Hi, We are coming to America in December and we plan to drive from LA to Las Vegas in one day. Have a few days in Las Vegas, then drive from LV to Yosemite in one day and then onto San Francisco via Lake Tahoe the next day. Is this possible, as being from little old England cant really grasp the distances involved here! Also, any suggestion en route will be great! Cheers Stevo

Hi - I'm new to roadtrip America, but looks like I will love it! My husband and I are planning a trip from North Carolina to Las Vegas, leaving on Friday of this week. We plan to take I-40 all the way and our first stop will be in Oklahoma City (Yikes! - the man wants to drive 16 - 18 hours the first day!!) I see his reasoning, in that we can drive from our home on day trips to see the sites ...
