We've settled some of our moving plans. We'll be driving to the NB/Maine border at the end of the month. Not sure of the departure date just yet but we'll know once we have our moving company chosen and booked (we're calling around for this on Wednesday). Once we cross into the US, we're driving along the coast as far as Baltimore, then heading south west to Tennesee where we'll be visiting with Alan and Joanne. We're then driving west to Oklahoma City where we're connecting to Route 66. We're driving Route 66 all the way to LA where we'll then connect with a yet to be determined west coast highway that will take us to Sam and Aren's doorstep in the Portland area and then to Chris' doorstep in Vancouver where we'll stay until we have a new home.

Along the way, we're hoping to catch Graceland for the cheese factor. We're also hoping to take a detour into Nevada to check out Las Vegas and then get back on 66 around 80km outside of LA (I don't know the name of this place, just that it's where the 15 rejoins with 66 on Google Earth). Don't worry, Dave's dad is ordering maps for us. There is no way I'd rely on road information from Google Earth or Google Maps.

Here's a simple illustration of Route 66:

"Okemo" appears to mark where Oklahoma City is or thereabouts.

I'm using the path tool in Google Earth to trace our path and get an idea of how far we'll be driving. It won't be accurate but it'll give us an idea of how long this will take. More details as they appear.
