We are The Newmans, a family of avid travellers with a desire for exploring the open road. In 2024, we’ve set our sights on the ultimate American adventure: a road trip across the USA from Chicago to LA. Our journey will take us down the iconic Route 66, through bustling cities, and into the heart of America's stunning landscapes via some of the most picturesque mountain passes. It will take us on a loop through Colorado, into Monument Valley, The Grand Canyon and onward to Las Vegas.  We will experience the desert of Death Valley, the stunning beauty of Yosemite, the metropolitan San Francisco and enjoy the scenic decadence of the Pacific Coast Highway before finishing in LA. All the while with a couple of slices of Deep Dish Pizza, a few mahoosive steaks and the odd beer or two!

This blog is our way of sharing the excitement, challenges, and beauty of our travels with you. Whether you’re a fellow road trip enthusiast or a curious traveller, we hope our stories, photos, and tips inspire you to embark on your own adventures. From planning and packing to navigating and exploring, we cover it all. So, buckle up and come along for the ride!
