Hi there!
We’re doing route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica next year in August. We’re going to be 3 adults + child 10 up. The plan is to spend 3-4 days in Chicago, then 21 days driving Route 66 with final 3-4 days in LA.
I’m currently planning all of our stops, things to see/do, etc.
I’m looking for recommendations on motels and restaurants along the route. We will be driving Jeep Cherokee or similar so will need accommodation and food stops every day 😅 this is a dream come true for my mum, who’s been dreaming about doing this trip since being a teenager (she’s now in her 60s). I want to make it super special and ensure that everything she dreams about in regard to route 66 is going to happen. Thanks for all advice !
