For those with a real taste for adventure, hiring a motor-home and living on the road might appeal. Fly drive companies can provide you with pre-defined routes, or you can custom your own, provided you end up where you’re supposed to be at the end of your holiday.

How about getting your kicks on Route 66, that iconic highway made famous by the 1960’s TV series, and the film released in the late 1990’s. It’s still there, and you can fly into Chicago to start your journey. Choose your mode of transport from car, motor-home, or the famous Harley Davidson motorcycle, and ride the highway from Chicago, through eight states, to Los Angeles on the west coast.
