| The mythic Route is 2,488 miles of memories. |
Time to roll!
 |
| This is why we flew to Chicago! |
After ten months of dreaming, it was going to come true. We thought about driving it ourselves, but then decided that letting someone else take care of the hotels, excursions, tickets, and driving would be more enjoyable.

| Point of departure in Chicago |
My French partner is learning English. Traveling with a group of people would let him hear many accents and have more conversations.
Little did I realize that it was uncommon for a born and bred American to take this tour. We soon discovered that our fellow passengers were from England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Talk about accents!
 |
| Our first stop was in Pontiac. Yes, there is a car museum with Pontiacs. |
Chicago was in the rear view mirror. The miles rolled by. Our guide shared anecdotes, music, and videos. With each passing hour, we learned more about the history of the “Mother Road.”

| Chubby’s is a tiny iconic bar & grill on Route 66 |
There are so many sites and resources about it, that I will only say this. Now is the time to travel this mythic road. 2026 marks 100 years since it’s christening.
This is the moment to savor the renaissance of Route 66.
