A good friend and I are finally doing the classic US road trip that
we've talked about for the last decade or so ... a 17 day trip from
Seattle to San Diego in a hired convertible.  We've got a few must see

Grand Canyon.  We'll have a hire car but is it practical to do a

We are interested in making a driving trip to see areas of interest
between DC and Boston, including NYC.  For these cities themselves,
