I did it my way

I always stop after the road trip part of a holiday like this to provide an overview of the details of the travel. Being in Vegas it seemed appropriate to use Frank Sinatra's song: I did it my way as the title for the post.

Frank was one of the great heroes of Vegas <<Co-pilot's note: cough: mob :cough>>, and even now they are performing a tribute show to him called Frank, the Man, the Music.

So we did it our way 

So in summary; we picked the car up with 13,467 miles on the clock and returned it with 16,913 a total of 3,446 miles. Of those miles Drew drove 54% of the miles and I drove 46%. This compares to distances of 5,247 miles in 2013 and 4,027 miles in 2011. There was more stopping and looking this time than on the last two visits when the looking was often done from the car.

In time terms we travelled for 67 hours and 54 minutes. I drove 53% of the time and Drew drove for 47%. This compares to 94 hrs 51 mins in 2013 and 92 hrs 19 mins in 2011. 

We were lucky in having extended stays in New York, Chicago, Grand Canyon and now in Vegas. In addition we got to visit 17 states and one Canadian province and have great memories from the hours we spent in Toronto, Detroit and Milwaukee in addition to the evenings we spent in many other towns across the country. And of course we made it to the last 8 states of the 38 Drew had not visited.

We tracked Route 66 for 3/4 of its route, and loved the eccentricity of the way the road is remembered across each of the different states.

Overall, and with a day or so to go, a great holiday with lots of memories that I'm sure we will come back to, including 3,306 photos (and still counting).

Thanks to everyone who have followed us along the way, and who have commented on the blog and the photos.
