Visiting Route 66 can be a daunting trip. Lots of unknowns. Fortunately all you have to do is book a car and grab a map and go. The people who work and live along Route 66 are fans of the Route and have great information for you. It's a connection of helpful and knowledgeable people who have been here for 5-30 years and know the best places around them for miles. 

Route 66 is like an internet of information that you can only access while traveling.  We like to say its the "hidden highway"

You wil find really helpful people who know a lot about Route 66.  Be sure to check our Facebook.com/route66motel and twitter.com/route66motel for more information about Route 66.

Now plan that trip and don't delay.  See you soon.

This is a great post on this site http://touristear.com/en/route-66-planning-budget/

Here is what they say:

One last tip. I did it, and it was a good decision, if you have a GPS, buy maps of the US, It will be around 50 $ more or less. If you have a good quality smartphone, you can buy a GPS application and maps (so you do not use the data streaming), which will be more or less the same cost. Truly, it is a very good decision. Mostly when you want to get in or out great cities like Los Angeles or Chicago where traffic is crazy. Also, if the maps are good, they will come with built-in POI’s where you can search for points of interest nearby and takes you without loss of time. It’s great solution to improvise and also for the big cities. Really, it was a success, you as I always say, do it your way. I leave the tip.
Well, there goes my planning. I will be making a post for each journey, what to see and not see, where to stop, where to sleep, etc.

This budget to do the Route 66 is an approximation and probably a little higher than the real one. The price of the flight tickets depends a lot on the dates you are going. The price of accommodation depends on what you are seeking and also of the city. We slept almost the entire Route 66 in motels, some had a very good price ($ 30 per room). On the other hand, Chicago was the most expensive city. The rental price of the car will depend a lot on which kind of vehicle you choose, it is cheaper to hire at american companies. Regarding the food, eating in USA is cheap if you look for it, the meals are great and usually high quantities.
When you finish the route please come back and tell us your feelings and give us a bit of envy!!
