Travel Historic Route 66 Through Arizona
Route 66 can trace it's history back to the late 1920's when it was first proposed and laid out. However it was not until 1938 that the road was completely paved from it's eastern beginning in Chicago, Illinois to it's western terminus in Santa Monica, CA some 2,450 miles later. Of course the route can be traveled either eastwardly or westerly though most Route 66 travelers prefer to head from east to west just as the Joad family did in John Steinbeck's famous literary work, The Grapes of Wrath. Sadly, Route 66 began to be replaced in the 1960's by new Interstate highways that bypassed many small towns along the way and was removed completely from the interstate highway system in 1985.

How To Find Cheap Airfare
To find cheap airfare, you need to do a little research. Start with the well-known sites, like Expedia, Travelocity, Cheap Tickets, Hotwire or Priceline. The travel agencies just can't compete with the discount sites any longer. You can also find cheap airfare by using the search engines. Type in something like "cheap plane tickets" and the destination. I just checked fares from Tucson, Arizona to Traverse City, Michigan on the five sites mentioned above. Tickets ranged from $704 to $432 for the cheapest at each site (and up to $500 more for the most expensive). It isn't important which was cheapest (oh, okay, it was Expedia). It isn't important because you never know from day to day which sites...
