thanks to you all ~

i may take you up on your offer a bit later, ikitnrev, thanks ~ i'm not sure if we're driving straight towards missouri our going via the southern route (i would love to see hale tiki and my cousin in savannah)

after a scan of http://www.roadtripusa.com, http://www.roadsideamerica.com and http://www.roadsidepeek.com, i may still be inclined to get one of the 'hard copy' books mentioned above.

the roadtipusa.com site is organized mostly the way i would want to access the info. i guess i'm spoiled by tiki road trip :) it is just nice to be able to say, i'm going to be in this state, what should i look for / gravitate towards while i'm here? http://www.roadsideamerica.com is searchable by state but i suppose i would have to print out the pages and pages of attractions per state prior to leaving. the roadsidepeek.com site seems more inclined towards browsing for cool things, then deciding to go see them, or just as a resource for what is still available; the route 66 section is a bit more organized by trip segments which it pretty cool.

i apologize if i'm getting too analytical ~ i suppose the thing is, tiki is able to be classified into a fairly compact book ~ i suppose 'other things that are cool' is a bit more broad and based on your tastes, interests etc. probably the best thing to do is select a blue highway or more obsolete road that has a high likelihood of fun stuff along the way.

thanks again for all your suggstions, i'm going to keep on researching as we near good ol' vacation... j$
