Our last big one was two years ago, when we turned helping our daughter move from Philly to San Diego into an opportunity to see some country we hadn't seen before. We took the route from Philly-to Savannah-to San Diego during the month of April.

Right now we are in the process of planning a longer (time-wise) trip of the same route, and hitting as many of the eateries highlighted by Guy Fieri on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" as possible.

We're planning three weeks to make the trip from Philly to Savannah, and three weeks to do Savannah to San Diego.

For one trip, we bought an annual pass for the National Parks. cbayer Dec 2011 #4

The annual pass pays for itself in one visit to a major park. cbayer Dec 2011 #7
