Travel Vlog: Route 66 Roadtrip 2011
This is a vlog I made 5 years ago with my wife Dianne while travelling along the Historic Route 66 Highway. It’s a collection of short video’s I took on my digital camera mostly during travel in the car between Chicago, Illinois and San Francisco, California (via Las Vegas and Los Angeles).
We mostly stuck to old alignments of Route 66 and tried to avoid using the often adjacent Interstate highways as much as possible which often meant meandering along at 40mph on a frontage road for miles next to the Interstate! We followed directions in the brilliant and informative book EZ66 Guide for Travellers in addition to the map view on our sat nav to view upcoming street names (it’s impossible to use a sat nav to get directions for Route 66 as the road doesn’t officially exist anymore except for historic designations).
I haven’t included any photos of the trip in order to keep this vlog short but if you’d like to view more pictures and read up on our adventure in more detail check out my other travel blogs from 2011 here on this site. If you’re planning a trip and have any questions or would like booking or accommodation tips just leave a comment below and I’ll do my best to help.
