Midwest USA Holidays
The wide open expanses of the American Midwest are indelibly linked to Route 66. This iconic and historic highway snakes its way through the heartland of the US, crossing the mighty Mississippi River on its 2,500 mile journey between Chicago and Los Angeles. America’s Great Plains have always been a springboard to adventure. This is the region that inspired Mark Twain to write Huckleberry Finn, the starting point for pioneers heading west and the eastern base of the Pony Express. During the 1930s America’s ‘Mother Road’ again served a new generation moving to California. Affectionately known as the ‘Windy City’, Chicago has something for everyone – sport, food, fabulous music and a breathtaking skyline to match. Travelling south and west, pass small country towns, family owned diners and motels, stop in spirited St Louis, explore the Ozarks and Oklahoma. In winter, when the weather in Illinois is unfavourable, a Route 66 self-drive tour can be started in the Oklahoman capital, Oklahoma City.
