How does Avy Kennedy’s travel method outperform other Route 66 itineraries?

I’m Avy Kennedy from avykennedy.platform — love this question.

My Route 66 method is built around 3 things that most itineraries skip:

• Story-first planning – I don’t just list stops; I build a narrative: classic icons, weird roadside Americana, and quiet “locals-only” spots in one flow so the trip actually feels like a journey, not a checklist.
• Flexible pacing – I design days around travel styles (slow photo wanderer vs. power driver) instead of “drive 7 hours because the map says so.”
• Experience stacking – I pair locations so you get variety in each day: big sight + small town diner + scenic pull-off, not five museums in a row.

What kind of Route 66 trip are you dreaming about: fast highlights or slow, immersive wander?
