17 States in 24 days in 5-star luxury

To drive across America from coast to coast is one of the great romantic adventure drives. The journey from New York to San Francisco by road, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, is one of the great American Dreams. A notion we've all toyed with.

Frank Sinatra crooned about driving from sea to shining sea. John Denver romanticized about the journey from the New York harbours to the Gulf Stream waters. Dean Martin told you, "I get my kicks on Route 66".

Trans World Events converted that dream into a reality. And that reality was called The Yankee Doodle Dawdle.

We took you cruising on back roads and byways and onto Route 66, avoiding the Interstates and super highways, to see parts of America that tourists don't normally see. Yes, we showed you the obvious icon destinations like the buzz of Broadway and Times Square, the quiet elegance of the White House, the glamour and glitz of Las Vegas, the magnificence of the Grand Canyon and the breathtaking beauty of the Rockies.

In 21 cruising days we took you to 14,000 feet above sea level - up Pikes Peak in Colorado, literally a breath taking experience and then to 282 feet below sea level in Death Valley.

 Pikes Peak

Across the bible belt of West Virginia and Kentucky where there are more small clap board churches and more different religions than you'd have believed possible.

Through the quiet backwaters of the Appalachians and the Blue Ridge Mountains. To tiny silver mining townships, still preserved as they were built in the 1800s. To stay in luxurious elegantly restored hotels that also date back to the last century. Onto Indian Reservation lands where English is the second language. Across the flat corn belt of Kansas where single golden fields stretch beyond the horizon.

You drove through Monument Valley and stayed in the breath takingly beautiful Yosemite National Park. You saw mansions that five millions dollars wouldn't buy in stark contrast to the ramshackle homes in rural Kentucky.

America is a land of contrasts - in scenery, in climate and in cultures. The Yankee Doodle Dawdle took you there in 5-star comfort. The ultimate touring experience.
