Ever since I can remember, my biggest dream was to travel this route, and I recently did. My journey began in Chicago - the third largest city in the United States. Before I set off on the legendary Route 66, I spent a fantastic week exploring the city, an international hub for finance, culture, commerce, industry, technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It is also one of the main destinations of tourists in the USA.
