Travel plans have changed a little. I've updated the list here to reflect changes. Overall mileage (forgetting sightseeing diversions) is now around 3300 miles.
I researched Tunica, Tennessee, a little, where I had 4 nights booked ina casino hotel, because they were dirt cheap. It turns out that there isn't much at Tunica, and the hotel is way out (12 miles I think) on it's own in the country - so not too much to do there. So I've reduced that stay to 2 nights, and replaced the other nights with 2 nights staying just off Beale Street in downtown Memhpis, which should be more lively.
Also, getting to Lincoln, Nebraska to see Larry The Cable Guy on 4 July was adding hundreds of miles, through places I wasn't that keen to see, as well as setting a challenging target for getting back to O'Hare to travel home on the Monday. Someone on the Chicago Blues forum alerted me to a Blues weekend in Leclaire Park, Davenport, IL, so I am going there instead of Kansas and Nebraska.
I think I may have overdone the Blues Festival thing now(!!), but it's not long till I find out...
I changed the car rental company as someone offered me a much cheaper price, and I have a Dodge Charger booked.
I have a planned route and some waypoints to see as I travel, which will come out in the blog, but most "detailed" planning will be done with the road atlas, Frommers USA guide and a friendly barman the night before...
