[net.travel] U.S. tour

wlk (01/02/83)

I am planning a month-long auto tour of the U.S. with my family. I have put
together a rough itinerary and route. Problem: How to fill in the details,
i.e., travel time estimates, good intermediate stopping places, etc. I am
considering joining AAA just long enough to get a "Trip-Tik" and have them
work out the nitty-gritty details. Any alternate suggestions?

Thank you for replying by electronic mail.

   I ahve made the cross-US tour by car a couple of times and STRONGLY
recommend the AAA (in my case I used the Canadian AA) Trik-Tik.  In addition,
the booklets describing the various states are quite useful.  Most of
all though, the trik-tik serves to warn one of special problems, sites
to note, and allows some exploring since maps of the region to be crossed
are provided.  I have never come across any realm substitute (I only had
a trip-tik the second time across).
