Route 66 - talk to me
Discussion
My fiancé and I are planning a 3 week trip down Route 66 in May 2015 for our honeymoon.
Looking to fly into Chicago and travel east to west over three weeks and checkout as much as we can.
Obviously there are lots of standard touristy things to do and see but I wondered if anyone has any alternative ideas?
I'm into my shooting and want to stop at a range or two and waste as many dollars as humanly possible so I guess we should also plan some retail therapy for the then to be Mrs Tack.
We will be spending a couple of days in St Louis with friends but the rest of the time is free.
I was thinking a mustang or challenger but vehicular options are open to suggestions.
Anyone done the whole route and have any suggestions or advice? I'm open to suggestions.

Tackleberry, you've been around here for some time. It's all been covered in great detail before.
Very good. As you say there is a lot of info on previous threads. I would say read the threads, make sure you buy the guide - http://www.amazon.com/Route-66-GUIDE-Travelers-EDI... and ask again if you have any further questions.
Mrs BC & did 66 in May/June last year.

Can recommend the EZ66 guide book and maps. They look very thorough - will find out in September!
They are excellent. Follow EZ66 (in American Eeezzeee 66) and it will keep on the right roads and make sure you don't miss anything. A sat nav is also useful to make sure you are on the right roads, we used NavFree on an IPad.Crikey, I want to do this.

Article in Top Gear Magazine this month (or might be last now) doing this - not the most comprehensive article.
Would love to do it myself, but she has told me we have to wait for the kids to bugga off first!
been told to watch out for 1 way rental charges - can get stiffed with extra fees if you are not careful
