Planning and planning

Well we have spent the last few days planning our Great Road Trip from Santa Monica pier to Oklahoma Ciry on Route 66.  Steve has done a stunning job, using maps and books.  This is the Texas one...



He is now researching places to stay as we are not booking anything in advance - how daring is that?
I found an app called Roadtripping but not too sure it will work on the iphone - will have to see.  I have typed out Steve's itinerary.  There is so much to see on that rout!.  This is the California part of the itinerary
