    Too many variables
    Depends what appeals to you ......
    Cities? Outdoors/scenery/hiking/wildlife? Bars/resturants/nightlife? Historic sites? etc
    Also whether family with children (and, if so, ages of children) or adults only

    We did LA (4 nts), Palm Springs (4 nts), SF (4nts) then back to LAX along Highway 1 via Carmel, Monterey, Santa Barbara. Easy route to follow and we had a superb time

    Just asking for other peoples experience best trip theyve done

    Thanks anyone whos replied.

    The road trip site was good aswell thanks Caz.
  • Well, me and 3 friends did...

    New York -> Philadelphia (Train)
    Philadelphia -> Kansas City, Missouri (Drove)
    KC, MO -> Houston, Texas
    Houston -> Miami (via New Orleans)
    Miami -> Chicago
    Chicago -> Cincinnati
    Cincinnati -> Newark, NJ
    Newark -> Small town on the NJ shore (Train)
    Small town -> Newark (train)

    Took 5 weeks all together. We stopped at lots of cities on the way. The trip was decided by the car delivery firm we were 'working' for (free car hire, just paid gas)

    If you do the East Coast, you could go from New York down to Miami. You've got history in Philadelphia and Washington DC. There's the Appalachian mountains for all sorts of outdoor pursuits - plus there's loads of national parks around there. Orlando has theme parks and a great night life (Sadly, i never got to go out as I'd been bitten by a spider in Miami). There's beaches in Florida too (e.g. Daytona Beach - also home of the NASCAR speedway).

    Here's a link to some East coast places. http://www.squidoo.com/east-coast-road-trip
