Rediscover America: Take a Driving Vacation!

"See the USA in your Chevrolet, America is asking you to call... ." Many of us remember Dinah Shore singing that catchy tune in the 50's and '60's, when America was in love with the automobile. Family cars were large, with two-tone paint, soaring tail fins, 400 gas-guzzling horses under the hood, and room for everyone, including the family pet.

Driving was the only way to travel! Summer vacations were eagerly anticipated. Itineraries were planned to include stops at historic sites, national parks, or Aunt Betty's house on the way to the sea shore. Something interesting was always around the next bend in the road. Remember Coppertone billboards and Burma Shave signs? And if you drive south on I-95 through North Carolina, Pedro still urges you to stop 'south of the border.'

Perhaps the words of the song should be: "See the USA in your SUV (minivan. . . Honda)?" . . . Are we there yet?
