We have less than 2 months to go before our Big Trip!! Two months today we shall be on our way from Bloomington, Illinois, to St Louis, Missouri.
We have now paid the final installment for the Harley and we have some US dollars arranged (the exchange rate is really good at the moment!). And I only have a maximum of about 21 days at work between now and our "Grand Depart" (to use Tour de France speak!)
This is probably a good time to go in to a bit more detail of our itinerary - we are pretty much squared away now with the route and night stops, although I have just rearranged one of the night stops in Oregon, so that we can stay near enough to Twin Rocks that we can actually "watch the sun disappear into the Ocean" (assuming the weather is good that day!).
So:
After 2 and a bit days exploring Chicago, we pick up the Harley and head off from the start of Route 66.
Day 1: Chicago to Bloomington, Il
Day 2: Bloomington to St Louis, Mo
Day 3: St Louis to Springfield, Mo
Day 4: Springfield to Tulsa, Ok (Only 24 hours from...)
Day 5: Tulsa to Oklahoma City, Ok
Day 6: Oklahoma to Elk City, Ok
Day 7: Elk City to Amarillo, Tx (Is this the way to....)
Day 8: Amarillo to Santa Fe, NM
Day 9: Day Off - explore Santa Fe
Next installment to follow....
