Vacations provide some of the most magical moments in our lives. Therefore, it's imperative that you give this aspect the attention it deserves. While a number of options are at your disposal, a static caravan could be the best investment of all. Here are five of the key reasons to consider buying a static caravan over the coming months. Everyone loves the once-in-a-lifetime adventure, such as doing Route 66. Likewise, the all-inclusive fortnight of sun, sea, and sand is something we all need from time to time. However, owning a static caravan that's stationed only an hour away from your home opens the door to spontaneous breaks. Whether it's a romantic weekend away after a tough week at work, a writing week in peace, or a family trip doesn't matter.…
One of the key ingredients of Route 66 is all the classic Hotels you can stay at. Of course there are many of the normal chains like Holiday Inn which you can stay at but that's not really the point to getting the full on Route 66 experience! There are a load of great Route 66 Hotels to stay at and by no means is this a full on comprehensive list but these are the ones that are worth it. Whilst some people like to just travel Route 66 and stop where they want, these hotels are the popular ones and with that I recommend that you book in advance. They only have a few rooms so it doesn't take much for them to all get booked up! Town: Tucumcari…

It's easy to spend loads and loads - but also do it on a bit of a budget as well. Although we did it the way below it's not a prescription of "how to do it" but just trying to give you an idea of what you might face on the road trip. This trip was taken in 2019 and all prices are based on these rates. You can find my master Route 66 information page here. This is going to be your biggest expense. We booked some of the key ones that we didn't want…
If you haven't read part 1 of this journey you should go and do this before part 2! Also if you haven't read my Route 66 Tips and Tricks you should do that here! I started and intended that Illinois should be one post but there was just so much of Route 66 Illinois to cover off that I had to split it into 2 parts! So far we've seen lots of garages, a few statues, a prison as well as lots of cars and murals. Part 2 is going to have a LOT of cars, the state capitol and the border to the next state. Sit back and enjoy the read of the next stage of Route 66 Illinois. Springfield is the capital of Illinois. Present-day Springfield was settled…
