It was a scorching summer day in Las Vegas and my dad and I were meandering around the city in awe of the size of everything. We were acutely aware that we had overdressed for the weather‚ having just left a chilly Illinois. It was the hottest place to which I had ever been. The both of us‚ father and son‚ were going to meet up with my grandpa to go to the Grand Canyon for one of the greatest trips ever.

I knew everything about the cars that I dealt with and I answered every question more confidently than the one before.

A road trip is the ultimate getaway. It’s the journey‚ not the destination‚ so don’t hurry. Absorb the scenery‚ visit unusual attractions‚ eat in roadside diners‚ knock back a few cold ones in local taverns‚ and strike up conversations with strangers.

We have motored through all 50 states (we flew to Hawaii)
