West Coast USA Fly Drive holidays - advice.

[The_Lizards_Jumpers]

We tended to stay away from the big cities and opt for the real America. Last trip was Houston onto San Antonio, via hick Towns, to see a small building and a wall then South and then back to Houston. Just a short one in American eyes but not enough of road churning. Never bothered with a flash car really didn't see the point, there is always someone flashier than you on the road.

Big cities are still "the real America" unless you're arguing that LA, NY, Chicago or SF are not "real" ? Most of our impressions of the USA are probably shaped by seeing those few cities on TV and films, and are as "real" (albeit different) as Hicksville, KY or BAckwardsville, OH

I'll rephrase that. We stay away from the Big Cities because of the hustle and bustle and opt for smaller places where we have time to hit local establishments and find local attractions. Larger Cities are hard to drive through due busy roads and interstates. Looking at some of the previous comments regarding the major cities and their problems I think we will stay away from them.

Small towns have their own problems as well for example the opioid crisis isn't restricted to the big cities, and is very much part of small communities across all 50 states.

Anyway it's your holiday, I hope you have fun, not criticising your choices if that's how it comes across.

All in the past fella. Done six to date and looking for another next year. We often find some good off the track things to do. Blessing of the Prawn fleet or the Prison Rodeo at Angola. Just a change from Hooter and Hard Rock Cafe's. It's what you make of it and what you want to see or do.
