Las Vegas Nevada to Tampa Florida
Well it's time to start our journey back toward home (Seekonk Ma.). We will be visiting family in Las Vegas Navada. Starting from there Google is showing: I40 to Amarillo Texas-287 to Fort Worth Texas...

I try my best to avoid Texas.
I did the drive a few months ago and too I-40 as far as Little Rock, AR and then moseyed my way southeast down to Mobile and followed the gulf. It took a little extra time, but the drive was nice.
Driving back west again I kind of went nuts. I started in Orlando and drove to Jacksonville and up through the Carolinas up into Virginia to take the Blue Ridge Parkway west for a while, and then I took I-40 west until I got to TN and then took back roads up into KY and through IL into MO to visit an old family spot in the Ozarks before finally taking a more direct route through KS and then south through Utah, Nevada, and into California. It was a fantastic trip, but I wouldn't recommend it as a quick route.
If you take I-40 east, you'll see some ruggedly beautiful country in Arizona and New Mexico. It gets pretty bleak in Texas and western Oklahoma, but it eventually gets green and pretty again in eastern Oklahoma. From there it's a beautiful drive as far as you feel like continuing on I-40 until you eventually dip south. I've done it three times this year and enjoyed every path we took to get down to Florida.
