Hi @Johnw, not US but we did a few in Canada before the kids came along.

I suspect that we will be ticking off the musical and cultural reference points as we go. From the last few days limited research I was surprised to see that there’s a road that’s had a pull in added so that […]

That’s the very debate we’re just having, how long to stay in one place vs how many places to tick off. Ah the fine art of route planning.

That sounds fantastic, spoilt for choice here; hard decisions will have to be taken but it’s a nice problem to have. Learning a lot just by doing some research and listening to the experiences of others.

Thanks Folks,
SF is on the wants list so now looking to see if we can come up with a schedule that allows for it.

Beyond flying into and out of Vegas the adults aren’t bothered about it The youngsters […]

Hi, @Sitheref2409
We will be there from the end of July to mid August due to UK school holidays.

There will be two of us to drive so distances can be shared. Youngsters pretty content to chill in the back […]

We’re attempting to leave the fear and loathing at home but will bear that in mind. 😉

Thanks, we’re not bothered about Vegas beyond it being the airport in / out. Though will go to a show if we need to be there for a day / night.

Currently checking roadtrips and this will take place next August […]

I do enjoy some Van Halen…. I remember being passed some vhs tapes from American mtv in the mid to late 80’s when as a teen it seemed impossibly exotic. A day glo west coast beach party viewed a million miles […]

Thank you very much and congratulations to you too for tomorrow.

50 as well, I beat you by a day. How on earth did we end up here!

My son summed it up quite well earlier after he’d jumped at me, been caught […]

My birthday as well although Bruce has a couple of decades on me. In amongst the wonderful gifts from family, my son gave me a Rattlesnake Speedway T-shirt so favourite song today would be Promised Land but that’s […]

Sad news, The Cars had some excellent singles. Heres a tune that got reworked more recently for one of the Pixar Cars films which then became a staple of my kids playlists.

This is just sad for all involved. I hope he’s at peace and send commiserations to loved ones left behind.

I never saw Neal live but for a time I played his music a lot.

Here’s an acoustic version of Fell […]

Hi Blue Boy, I agree re: the grit my youngest has had a few conversation with me since we watched about the racism so I think the message comes through alongside the coming of age story.

Next year then, ok I suppose it will be stadiums in the summer which if memory serves has been May / June so before the school holiday. Fingers crossed.

And I suppose if the Diner were to move out of town it could become a Roadhouse.

If the cafe were in the US would it be a Diner?
