5 Revolutionary road trips to mark the USA´s 250th anniversary

Chensiyuan Like many kids in the United States, while growing up my parents would each summer pack us into the car and set off on a family road trip of varying lengths. Usually they were (more or less) fun, and it certainly instroduced me to new experiences as well as learning a lot about my country. And as this summer´s road trip season, it also dovetails with the USA´s observance of its 250th birthday, culminating on July 4, which marks the date of the signing of the Declaration of…

On a wintry December morning I woke up to a flat tyre in the north Indian city of Allahabad. Shivering to replace it I was approached by a youngish lad. Gladly accepting his "I could help you with this, if you would like, Sir" as god sent,we replaced the tyre. I thanked the young man, and tipped him. My tip was politely refused. I found out that he was a college student, son of the local temple priest.This is India.

To see more of this, come join us on one of our trips!

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?
