Ultimate Road Trips: Top 5

There's something iconic about an American road trip, and we're counting down the top five. Whether you seek thrills or kitsch value, there's a trip for everyone, with full itineraries specially mapped out - and plenty of tasty food stops along the way! For a taste of Americana, cruise the world-famous Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles; if it's sunshine you seek, head north along the Pacific Coast Highway and soak in the Californian rays; and music fans can drive from Nashville to New Orleans, via Memphis of course, for a helping of blues, jazz and rock 'n' roll history. Whatever route you choose, get behind the wheel, put the roof down and hit the open road. (Travel Channel)
