What are your travel plans for 2013? [View all]

The 2012 thread was lots of fun, so I thought I would start the 2013 thread.

We plan a 2 month road trip in April and May, with both weekends of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival as the major focus. We love these trips, which we take every 2 years or so.

We tend to stay completely off highways and meander through the country stopping to visit friends, eat at local places, stay in mom and pop motels, visit natural national treasures and historic sites and seek out weird and wacky pieces of Americana.

This year we will head from the west coast to New Orleans (with stops on the way), then travel the gulf coast and up the east coast to DC. We will come back via another route.

How about you?
