When the Olympic torch comes to Shanghai, the route will travel down Nanjing Road West past my office. I plan to be far away when that happens, heaven knows I don't want to be caught up in any big crowds here.
"The U.S. Embassy has issued a Travel Alert to update U.S. citizens about security issues in China and advises American citizens traveling or residing there to be alert to their surroundings and exercise caution at all times. The Travel Alert expires on October 31, 2008 and includes the following advice:
Any large-scale public event such as the upcoming Olympic Games may present an attractive target for terrorists. There is a heightened risk that extremist groups will conduct terrorist acts within China in the near future. In light of these security concerns, U.S. citizens traveling in China are advised to use caution and to be alert to their surroundings at all times, including at hotels, in restaurants, on public transportation and where there are demonstrations and other large-scale public gatherings. Consistent with our standard advice, American citizens are urged to avoid the areas of demonstrations.
American citizens are strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance, be aware of local events, and take the appropriate steps to bolster their personal security."
My China Air flight leaves on 9/19/2010 at 11:55 PM from New York (JFK), and after a quick layover in Anchorage, arrives in Taipei on 9/21 at 6:15 AM. After 30 days in Taiwan, I will fly from Taipei to Shenzhen on China Southern Airlines. Everything after that is much less certain.

Oct. 19, 2021: Stop in Holbrook, Arizona. Holbrook, Arizona, was founded in 1881 and gained famed as a classic wild west town. Called a town "too tough for women and churches," Holbrook in 1914 was the only county seat in the United States without a church. The early Mormon settlers had left. Many residents served with Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the 1898 Spanish-American War. Today the Route 66 community of 5,000 is known for petrified wood stores and dinosaur sculptures.
Vermont Route 100 is a north–south state highway in Vermont, United States. Running through the center of the state, it travels nearly the entire length of Vermont and is 216.59 miles (349 km) long. Route 100 is the longest Vermont state highway, the longest north-south route in Vermont, and the longest numbered highway in Vermont of any type.
I have been working up in Plymouth recently, which means driving along the A38. I haven't been up that way for a while, and couldn't help but notice an American Diner along the way. For those of you reading this in the States you might be thinking, well, so what, but in Cornwall this is something different and unusual, so I had to stop and check it out. I liked the name, borrowed of course from the famous Route 66 song. All pictures are from my Sony mobile phone, edited in Picnik and assembles on Photoshop.
I will be away from Flickr for a few days, but look forward to catching up on your pictures at the end of the week.
Little & Large.
Two routes, the 123 & 150 which started off as minibuses under the legendary Bob Montgomery's era & have now spawned into high frequency full sized buses.
Cross city route 123 has seen many changes since its introduction, from minibuses to the WV class, RV's, AV's, AX's & even some VG's. Route 150 with its quirky " Rossmore " destination, has a mix of Wright WV's alongside full double deckers.
Some AV's are to be gradually re introduced onto the 123 as it prepares to go full time double decker soon.
Up above, Summehill AV 110, a veteran usually on Beaumont route 20B is seen passing out Ringsend WV 50 earlier in the week.
2012 is the 100th anniversary of bus route 38, and on Sunday 17th June Arriva marked the occasion by running three Routemasters from its Heritage Fleet as 'extras'. These were also joined by an RTL and RTW from the London Bus Company. No fares were charged on these buses, but passengers were invited to make a donation to Maggie's Cancer Charity. A vintage K-type bus dating from 1921 also traversed the route, carrying invited guests. As three of the 'New Bus 4 London' were also operating, the route attracted a lot of attention.
The London Bus Company's RTL139 is seen in Graham Road, Hackney, on its way to Clapton Pond.

"John Lasseter has said that the idea for Cars was born after he took a cross-country road trip with his wife and five sons in 2000. When he returned to the studio after vacation, he contacted Michael Wallis, a Route 66 historian. Wallis then led eleven Pixar animators in rented white Cadillacs on two different road trips across the route to research the film.
In 2001, the movie's working title was Route 66, but in 2002, the title was changed to prevent people from thinking it was related to the 1960 television show with the same name."

On the Panorama Route in Mpumalanga, with its breathtaking vistas around every mountain corner, waterfalls plunging down faces of sheer rock, memories of the gold rush following you as you meander down an endless river canyon, and eagles hovering above your head – you can't help walking with your head in the clouds.

volcanism, uplift, erosion, and human endeavor have indelibly etched the Columbia River Gorge. but cataclysmic floods during the twilight of the last Ice Age (12,000 to 15,000 years ago) affected the landscape before you more than any other terrestrial force, creating these scablands called the Rowena Plateau.
As a massive ice sheet advanced from Canada, it dammed rivers with up to 2,000 feet of glacial ice creating huge lakes across Idaho and Montana. The largest of these, 3,000 square mile glacial Lake Missoula, held over 500 cubic miles of water - half the volume of Lake Michigan. When rising waters undermined these ice dams, tremendous floods swept across the land and down the Columbia River. Torrents of water and ice raged downstream as many as 100 times, scouring away soils at elevations up to 1,000 feet.
