Welcome aboard
Hello all!
This is the authorised website for the Howard's Excellent Adventure, which kicks off on April 25 2008 when family Howard, including Chloe and Chanelle fly out of Sydney bound for San Francisco. From SF we will travel to LA to pick up the start of historic Route 66 at Santa Monica. We then drive the full length of the remnants and/or replacements of this highway (known as 'The Mother Road'), all the way to Chicago in Illinois. On the way, we will be stopping at other locations, such as Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, and a collection of other lesser-known places, including, as far as Chloe is concerned, many drive-in restaurants and cafes along the way, for her to sample as many genuine American hot dogs as possible.
From Chicago we will travel on to New York City for a few days, before flying to London. We will do a whistle-stop tour of the UK, to allow the girls to meet their extended family, and to visit such areas as London, Liverpool, Lake District, Yorkshire Moors and Dales, and the Cotswolds.
From here we will travel by the cross-channel ferry to Calais, and drive across France, Belgium and through Germany to arrive in Berlin at the beginning of July, to take up about six months residence. At this stage the plan is to have Christmas in Vienna, before returning to Australia (via the UK) about the middle of January 2009.
That's a snapshot. As we progress along the way, we will be posting pictures and dialogue to allow family and friends to stay in touch. (and saves us a few dollars on postcards!).
So check back frequently from 25 April onwards!
