Time to plan the route

TODAY is the last day at the beach house so this morning I started to plan the big journey from Las Vegas, where we head tomorrow, to New York, where we need to arrive by August 25.

I'm hopeful that next week we can take in the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and parts of old Route 66. I'm grateful to TomTom in the UK for its loan of a satnav with US mapping (and loads of features including phone Bluetooth and mp3 playing via the car radio).

An excellent Rand McNally road atlas provides the back-up.

The Olympics started today, but despite at least 100 TV channels, nothing appears in America until 7.30 tonight, as far as I can see. That's odd, isn't it?
