I was interested to read your USA route. We too have done several USA road trips, which I planned myself, covering thousands of miles driving. The last one was 2011 and we were tentatively contemplating another next year, co-incidentally around Oregon and Washington perhaps tagging on an Alaskan cruise, but aren't convinced there would be as much of interest compared to previous trips, so it's interesting to read that you thought this was your best. I'll need to do more research, I think.

It was my experience of driving Ford Explorer, Nisan Murano, Jeep Grand Cherokees or Dodge big automatic SUV's that made me yearn to drive something 'similar' over here but the fuel costs always dissuaded me, so settled for an XC60.
