Information on Touring America and Canada

RE: Information on Touring America and Canada Post by ThriftyFun (4042) | (06/02/2003) Profile | Blog! | Contact American Automobile Association will help you plan a tour. You would need to join which costs about $90 a year but would include roadside assistance if you have any problems on your trip. Go to: http://www.aaa.com Checking with the Tourist Information Centers in each state and province might help, use Google to look for these sites. I searched under (state name) tourist info. Each state in the U.S. should have one. Here is Massachusetts: http://www.masstourist.com/ Virginia: http://www.virginia.org/home.asp Montreal: http://www.montreal.com/tourism/general.html This is an RV Rental site: http://www.cruiseamerica.com/ and a directory of places to rent RVs http://www.rvra.org/ Because you are going to be driving in the U.S. and Canada it would be good to have an International Driver's License. http://www.driverlicense.net/ Here is a Virtual Tourist Information Center site: http://www.virtualtourist.com/vt/2/ It requires signing up so you can plan your trip. How it works is a little baffling to me so I'm not sure it will help you. Here are some books recommended: Road Trip USA: Cross-Country Adventures on America's Two-Lane Highways, by Jamie Jensen http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1566913969/thecouponclipper/ Road Trip America: A State-By-State Tour Guide to Offbeat Destinations, by Andrew Wood http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1888054743/thecouponclipper/ Woodall's the Campground Directory 2002 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0762709685/thecouponclipper/ Woodall's the Campground Guide - Canada http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0762709723/thecouponclipper/ My best advice is to plan well and make sure that you have an RV (camper car) reserved and plan some destinations. Make sure you are renting from a reputable dealer. I could help you with your plan a lot more if you were visiting the West Coast because I know more about it. I know there are a lot of Easterner's on this list so feel free to jump in those of you that live back East. Susan
