Father-Daughter Road Trip Ideas needed!

[Calvin-Klein]

I need some ideas for a place in the united states that a father and a daughter could both enjoy. I'm a teenager and my dad is in his early fourties. We just need a break from the rest of the family. We both like cars and mostly the same stuff, but I like to do some sightseeing. I'm more artistic in nature and my dad is a....dad. Since I'm with him a lot we like a lot of guy stuff. We need your ideas...I'm planning it as a surprise!

How about a road trip down the pacific coast highway in california, you could go to Yosemite National Park, Los Angeles, San Francisco, all sorts of places :)

Maybe go when there's a festival or something on you can both enjoy.

I was leaning toward California....

If anyone knows of any concerts (Daughtry, kid rock, like those...) let me know.

I would recommend the west coast � the best trip I have done is a pre-booked trip, whereby the flights, hotels & car hire are all included in the deal.
The downside is that you are on a fixed itinerary, with set nights at each pre-booked hotel.

A number of travel companies do the same trip, on a two week vacation. You fly into either San Francisco or LA, plus visit San Diego, Phoenix, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Death Valley, Fresno & back to San Francisco.

I seem to recall paying around �800 - �900 each for the package (2 persons), and driving just under 3,000 miles over the two week period � lots to see & do. Checkout the internet for places of interest to you, nearby/on the route. You will be lucky if there is a gig you wanna see going on, as you are passing through.

Route 66? USA

In usa dollars that's about $1,182.91-$1,330....that sounds alright for a trip that's all planned out.

This site seems to have details of concerts in the US, though I'm sure there are others aswell

My price of �800-�900 was for the package only (breakfast was included at the hotels) � on top of this you will need money for gas, eating out, entertainment etc. As a minimum, I would budget �30 per person/day.
