Route 66 was a television hit. The idea of taking to the wide open road without a plan or timetable appeals to the very core of the American spirit. Even decades after the show went off the air, Americans are still reliving the adventure. Even interstate highways have not killed the allure of Route 66. Thousands of motorists still drive the road every year from LA to Chicago and back. Road trips can be found all over America, each one featuring their own unique charm. As long as there are cars and the open road, Americans will be exploring.

San Diego is like an island. It is tucked between LA to the north, Mexico to the south, the desert to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the West. San Diego has managed to develop its own unique character taking a little from all its neighbors. Enjoy the inviting beaches, the dry and warm year around weather, and the strong Mexican influence. Authentic Mexican cuisine can be enjoyed in Old Town. Downtown has nightclubs and restaurants that rival LA. La Jolla resembles the glitz of Beverly Hills. San Diego is also the host to numerous tourist sites like Sea World, Legoland, and the world famous San Diego Zoo. If you want to visit Mexico for the day, you can walk over the border into Tiajuana.

Sydney, Australia is an upside down city for several reasons. It is on the other side of the planet from us. When it is summer here it is winter there and vise versa. Water runs down the drain in the opposite direction. Sydney is a modern city surrounding a stunning bay. It is clean, bright and full of friendly people. There is a highly efficient mass transit system and many tourist friendly accommodations. Visitors are treated to the Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach and bay cruises. If you can stand the 14 hour plane flight and can get away from at least 2 weeks, Sydney is well worth a visit.
