I will be doing Route 66 with my family between August 1st and 16th when we end up in LA. While I have planned the itinerary in terms of where we will be stopping each night and have booked the hotels, if anyone lives anywhere along the route or have done it before it would be great to hear huge experiences or perhaps you can share some ideas that are off the beaten track and not in the 'tourist' lists it would be great thanks
