There has never been such a good time to take a road trip as this summer! Since international travel is still up in the air, why not plan a fun and exciting road trip to explore more of your own country! Here is a list of 6 road trips from all over the USA. No matter where you live, adventure awaits!

Pacific Coast Highway (California State Route 1)

This might be one of the most famous highways in America. Not only because of the location in sunny California but the views are breathtaking! It runs between Los Angeles and San Fransisco. Another high note is the famous Big Sur.

Route 66

Whenever I think of a roadway in America I think of Route 66. It is truly iconic. This road spans between Chicago, Illinois and Santa Monica, California through 8 states.

US Route 1 (Florida)

Although US Route 1 goes along most of the east coast I think the Florida portion is truly unique. A road trip along the Florida coastline is like traveling through the Caribbean with its clear water, sand beaches and warm air. This portion of the US Route 1 crosses over a lot of water and even connects to the Florida Keys.

Blue Ridge Parkway

The Blue Ridge Parkway runs between Virginia and North Carolina in the range of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The scenery is beautiful year around and so is the weather!

Route 12 (Utah)

State Route 12 is a very unique road trip. Not only is it contained within one state but, it passes through both Bryce Canyon National Park and Capitol Reef national park. The scenery of the red rock formations is astounding and, this would be a completely different road trip if driven in the summer and then in the winter!

Hana Coastline (Hawaii)

The Hana Coastline goes on for miles with its beautiful views of luscious plants and sparkling waters.

The Hana Coastline is the perfect escape from the bustling mainland. It showcases Hawaii's black sand beaches, sparkling waters, luscious greenery and even a waterfall or two. What more could you ask for in a road trip?

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige.

I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
