    • Favorite Thing: Anyone travelling for pleasure in the United States, needs to purchase a blue book called "Passport" To Your National Parks ~ I think it was about $7.95 at any National Park, and it will allow you to get a "stamp" at each National Park you visit. After the first few stamps, it will inspire you to visit more and more national parks, some for the history, some for the beauty, and some just because you HAVE TO HAVE another stamp in your book!

    Fondest Memory: Driving for endless miles, from state to state, collecting refrigerator magnets of each state we visited or drove through. Another thing we've begun to collect are photographs of each State sign as we cross the state borders. The timeless photographs taken along the way.

    • North America - Reliable road atlas

    • Favorite Thing: Anyone contemplating a road trip in North America needs to be sure to get their hands on a good road atlas! We seem to rely on Rand McNally, but there are others out there that will suit your needs. The best one I've seen so far, and quite a bit more expensive, is a truckers map ... the pages are reinforced too, for those travellers such as ourselves who seem to really abuse our road maps. A good atlas will include both US and Canada.

    Fondest Memory: I LOVE the open roadways and the freedom to choose many different routes to get to one destination. We love to plan a trip to a particular destination, and see how many "other" places we can stop and see along the way.

     Hello Valorie. I've always wanted to drive through the USA, preferrably east-to-west-coast, but that trip will still take a few years of planning... Loved your tips and photos here, great info, thanks for sharing! Greetings from Dubai / Jess    		jto Thu Aug 2, 2007 16:49 UTC

     So true about the National Park passbook. I only found out about them recently and just cringe over all of those missed stamps!
