10 Australia road-trip tips

In terms of epic journeys, you’re not going to get much bigger than road tripping around the land Down Under.

Of course, with any journey of this size, you need to know a little about what you’re getting yourself into before…

Why winning western Massachusetts makes a great road trip

DennisTagneyJr Many visitors to one of the USA's most historic states tend to stick close to its Atlantic Ocean coast, because of course there's a lot to love about destinations like Boston and Cape Cod to its south. But there's an entire state's worth of equally scenic and historic treasures stretching some 124 miles (just over 200 kilometres) west to the New York State border (a bit over a two-hour nonstop drive) - and it makes for a great overnight or several-day excursion from "Beantown".…

Depends on where you are. San Francisco, sure. Other area without adequate public transit, no. In SLO, the downtown area is doable without a car but the transit isn't up to snuff for other areas of town. If they're going to ask you to do that, they should have good alternatives to the car first.

Ed Wetschler says that San Luis Obispo is trying to convince visitors not to use cars in their town, but he asks if the locals would be willing to forego their wheels. Good question. Fellow Californians (or knowledgeable visitors), could we survive, say, three or four days, without our cars?
