Beverley's message....

Hi Brian,

The accommodation was fantastic.

Brian was a wonderful tour director, a real good friend, very helpful & caring. He took me to the hospital when I needed to see a doctor and came back to take me back to the hotel.

Ian the driver of our car was great, looked after our every need and all the bags with a smile. A big thank you, Ian.

It was a great group, we had a lot of fun and laughs and became good friends.

I'll miss the duckies.

kend regards

What a great time, from the tips to getting into Chicago on the train for a look around. Off to Milwaukee to visit the Harley museum and back to Chicago for the obligatory Adams Street “Start of Route 66” photos on a Sunday afternoon festival time. All this before the tour started!

From the time the riders collected the Harleys it was up up and away. Joliet Prison and the Blues Brothers, old 66 diners and eateries, numerous museums, Abraham Lincoln’s house, heaps of American Civil war sites. Just so much to fit in and it’s only day 5 of 18.

This was just a sample. Each day’s itinerary had numerous ‘must see’ features and places that just kept us going.

A highlight was the changing scenery as we progressed on our journey. It seemed passing the crest of the next hill revealed a changing vista.

Occasionally we did we drive the interstate freeways was when ole 66 had just disappeared, particularly approaching big cities where the ‘convoy’ had to stay together or get lost. We did take advantage of the freeway to catch up time after a huge storm. In the main it seemed 90-95% was actually travelled on the original Mother Road.

A fine trip, Brian, very well managed. Great accommodation and fun places to eat at. All the lunches had the Route 66 theme as they were there from the beginning and those that are left are well maintained and unique.

Overall, very hard to fault. If seeing too much in the one day is a fault, extend the trip or cut down on time spent at some places. A good illustration is the extreme between arriving early in Williams and allowing a lovely walk of the town. Some days we arrived 7.30 to 8. Cleaned up for dinner and then went to bed to be up early next morning and off again.

Anyway Brian, Beverley and I were very pleased we chose your tour when comparing other offerings. The mix of places visited was excellent. The day we needed to ‘hit the dirt’ where ole 66 disappeared into a tunnel under the freeway (or was it the railway?) was an entertaining diversion.

Beverley has mentioned Ian. I second that, he could not do too much.

very best regards
