October 3, 2014 Contributor

John and I have been to Bangkok many times. It is a great destination but also a connecting city to other destinations in Asia. There is no city quite like Bangkok.

Sandra Scott Travels: There Is Miles and Miles To See and Do On Route 20

September 26, 2014 Contributor

Each state, working alone and in conjunction with adjoining states, is trying to promote the road to the benefit of all the towns, villages, accommodations, restaurants and tourist attractions along the way. What they need is a TV show and a song similar to the one about Route 66.
