America’s first motor highways were “auto trails.” Rather than numbers, they were issued names. 
Route 66 was the first paved transcontinental highway between Chicago to Los Angeles. It conveyed adventure, leading to a popular TV program known simply as “Route 66.” 

Route 66 was synonymous with red booths and gleaming chrome in mom-and-pop diners and service stations along the road. It opened the Western states to America’s fledgling car-motoring way of life. Then new faster highways began bypassing old highways. 

​Many towns sitting along the fabled old route corridor are a graveyard of abandonment; little more than orphaned buildings - forgotten and boarded-up. Some towns cling to life with gift shops showing weathered tin roofs and original wood floors. Inside, you see a page of Americana.

​We are well on our way to the best attended group cruise in VEGAS VOYAGER history.  By the time you read this we will be over 100 passengers participating in our PHAT PACK cruise to the Mexican Riviera on the Carnival Splendor, January 27 to February 3, 2018.  This is just going to be a fantastic and memorable trip.
 
Think about it.  What could be better then combining a seven night Mexican Riviera cruise with the music of the Phat Pack.  The two private (for our group only) command performances together with our own private cocktail party will make for one exciting and unique vacation experience.
