Tag Archives: Road trips – I’m writing this post from my new bed inside our big blue bus in Mexico. For anyone following Wandering Footsteps recently, you know this is a big deal! We have been working non-stop for over two months on converting a bus into an RV, and as of March 26th, we’ve moved in!  This is Part II of our post on Route 66, taking you through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Read on to find out why we don’t make it to the end of the road, our concluding thoughts on our road trip, and tips for those planning their own kicks down Route 66.  Nat King Cole sang, “If you ever plan to motor west, travel my way, take the highway that’s best; get your kicks on Route 66.” Well, our plan was to head west, so, even though Route 66 had never been on either of our bucket lists, Bruno and I decided to listen to Nat King Cole. We would, like so many before us, get our kicks on Route 66!  Though I have spent little of my adult life in my home nation of Canada, I assumed travel here would be less eye-opening, less illuminating, and less educational. Instead, traveling in Canada has been just as – and perhaps more – revealing than travel abroad. With my traveler eyes set on myself and my own culture, these last few weeks have been a thoroughly unique travel experience.  I think I’ve finally realized that Bruno and I are unreliable plan-makers. Actually, let me rephrase that: You can absolutely depend upon us to make – and then change – our plans. Here’s the story of why we could be spotted last month speeding up the Mediterranean Coast of Spain instead of sipping sangria and chillin’ on the beach. |
