Get Your Kicks On Route 66

One of the most enjoyable things about this adventure is not really having any set plans or bookings!

We decided to leave Barstow this morning and our destination was to be Flagstaff, Arizona.

But - after reading about a Route 66 museum in Barstow went there first. Lots of old 'crap' and lots of souvenir shopping. Got talking to a couple of ladies there and decided to stop at Williams on the way to Flagstaff. Off we drove. What seemed like a couple of hundred miles up the road we arrived. What a cool town man. Real old and on the original part of Route 66.

Visited the information centre and had some lunch. Walked the many souvenir shops and changed our destination from Flagstaff to Tusayan, Arizona. This is right at the South Summit entrance to the Grand Canyon and was only about 1 hour drive away! Never believed this morning we would be here.

So tomorrow will be sight seeing and eventually arrive at Flagstaff tomorrow night.

Great motel here even with its own bowling alley. So twinkle toes and I will head down later for a bit of healthy competition!
