Kicks abound on Route 66 — come get yours. Nicknamed the Main Street of America, there’s nothing Norman Rockwell-esque on the stretch of highway you’ll travel on this trip. Burgers, longboards, and big-city shenanigans are the order of the day every day as you take in the sights and sounds of LA, San Diego, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, and Vegas with an expert CEO (Chief Experience Officer) leading the way. If you’ve always longed to see the real American Southwest but never had the time or the money, well, you’re fresh out of excuses.
