World's Best Road Trips

Death ValleyIn March, my wife and I drove from Florida's east coast to its west coast for a long weekend. In total, we put 600 miles on the car. Does that qualify as a road trip -- or is it just a long drive?

In August, we're planning on taking our two dogs and driving from Florida, through Georgia, and up to Indiana. We plan to be gone for 2+ weeks, and that trip will add about 2500 miles to the car. Does that qualify as a road trip -- or is it just insanity on wheels?

Want to spin your wheels out on the open road but can't figure out a good route? Check out Concierge, which has put together a dreamy list of the world's best road trips, including:
Finally, after you read the piece, you can vote on your favorite road trip -- or nominate a new one altogether.

In case you're wondering, my all-time favorite road trip was the three-month tour my wife and I took along South Africa's coast, from Durban to Cape Town: wicked pretty, varied scenery, friendly people, and lots to do.
