USA road trip advice

[d8666]

Looking at the seeing what is possible or if anyone has an itinerary for a two week road trip for a couple with no children in tow.
I lived there for 6 months in 2010, some pictures below. I’m well aware of the empty spaces in the middle of the country. I see most of the states roughly in a line from Arizona, Texas, to North Dakota.

Depends what you want to see and the type of stuff you like to do, ask yourself these questions. Also what you managed to do before when you lived there, you will have gotten around in a semi..

Could start in New York and work the Eastern seaboard all the way to florida. Season dependant of course but fair bit to see along the way including DC, six flags theme parks, Kennedy space center etc.

We did a 3000 mile road trip a few years ago on my only trip to the USA . I'd always wanted to see a NASCAR race and we both love music (blues especially ) and our hired Mustang took us from Atlanta (very cool city ) to Charlotte N Carolina for the Bank of America 500 ( huge oval , great atmosphere , helluva spectacle) then north and west , taking in Blue Ridge Parkway in the Great Smoky Mountains (stunning ) , rural Tennessee (hell yeah) , Memphis (Graceland was surprisingly modest , but walking down Beale St was special ) and then down to Mississippi . It is the poorest state but I Ioved it - cotton fields, live blues at night and standing at the crossroads (THOSE Crossroads). was spine tingling . We drove down Highway 61 with John Lee Hooker on the radio and so good was it we did again , if only to boast about Highway 61 revisited ....

We returned via Birmingham Alabama and whether it was its history or general feel , I felt incredibly uncomfortable in that state. Georgia was like the lights coming back on .

The overwhelming feeling was being in one's very own movie - a sense of deja vu but also an awareness of being in country totally different to our own . And the loveliest people too . My abiding image is driving on a deserted back road near the Mississippi one morning - as we passed a house that was little more than the proverbial shotgun shack, the middle aged Black woman on the porch looked up , waved and gave us the biggest smile .You don't get that in Masham I can tell you..
