"For six-and-a-half years, I lived exclusively on the road. When I began my open-ended odyssey, I would have gladly swapped ten tanks of gas for a book like Live Your Road Trip Dream. Between these covers are the tools and resources that have helped many a vision become reality. This second edition has even more of the invaluable knowledge that Phil and Carol White have so ably compiled, organized and distilled to create the finest road trip planning guide now available in print. --Mark Sedenquist, RoadTripAmerica.com"

One of the most travelled interstates in the United States

is I-95. The Interstate runs from Maine to Florida, and runs through (or very close to) the major cities of Washington DC, New York City, Miami, Philadelphia and Boston. It's a good route to plan an east coast road trip along.

The Next Exit

This guide tells you what services lie ahead, including gas stations, restaurants, hotels, parks, and even what direction to head when you take the exit ramp.

Reviewers say it best:
"If you have your favorite gasoline brand or only want to eat at specific restaurants, you can search the listings for your preferred brand on the stretch of highway you're currently on. Hospitals, parks, shopping centers, and other attractions are also identified"
"I bought this book for good friends who were taking their first RV trip from Southern Missouri to New England! They used it from Day One - For food stops and even an emergency stop. They were so pleased with the book and I was glad to have chosen such a great gift!"

Make your trip as interesting as the sites your seeing by taking a look into the nearly 600 culinary delights this book features.

    I would really love to go on a road trip in the US. From Miami to LA and then San Fransisco or something seems like very much fun to me. This is an interesting collection of road trip books.
