I gotta say, as an Aussie, Tia’s love for big things just widens my smile more than u2 usually do. Looking forward to this one. Thanks guys🇦🇺 safe driving
25:58 - Tia talks about not having seen much of America, but as an Aussie, they've actually seen more of Australia than I have, as I've never been to Western Australia or the Northern Territory.
Thanks for the 'petrol' nod to Oz AND with an Aussie accent no less. The accent is pretty good 👍 Fun fact for the Aussies who call petrol pumps 'bowsers',,, I learnt from an ep of American Pickers (and just read the Wikipedia article before posting) that - "The first gasoline pump was invented and sold by Sylvanus Bowser in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on September 5, 1885,[4] pre-dating the automobile industry- It was commonly used to dispense the kerosene used in lamps and stoves." So I grew up using a brand name 😟 I'm off to Hoover the carpet and then make a few Xerox copies ☹ [yes I'm old]
Yay , as an Aussie who loved your Aust and NZ content, I have been hanging out for some US content . Thanks , looking forward to exploring 66 ' with you '
What a great video. As an Aussie I am enjoying the many historical Route 66 buildings and signs you are discovering. The back stories are very interesting and an insight into what life was like when Route 66 was a major highway. I dont know if you've watched the "Blues Brothers" movies but they were set in the Chicago area. So many iconic landmarks you were near - Cook County Building, elevated railway, Joliet (where the prison was), Elwood (the name of one of the brothers). Enjoy your road trip.
Very lovely to see how comfortable you are, travelling on home soil and discovering that getting to know your own country is also an important, valuable and fun experience. Safe travels and go the BIG THINGS.
As another Aussie, I am not at all put out by Tia’s love of Big Things! Secondly, I have watched a few videos on various interesting aspects of Route 66. I would have LOVED to have driven it but I didn’t have the time (I was working not playing in Texas and Washington DC). I will watch this all with added interest. When you get back to Aus you might like to find a few bits of the original Eyre Highway unsealed and much degraded but still drivable in sections. In a past life I drove that seven times in both directions in a 1963 Ford Falcon.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride, looking forward to seeing more adventures on 66, & enjoying Tia’s map reading skills :) (Also looking forward to more big things, watching from here in 🇦🇺).
Looking forward to this! Would love to go on this trip myself, coming along with you 2 next best thing! What I love about America is that it is the same size as Australia, but all the middle is occupied, so there is always so many more places to stop off
The last time I tried to buy a paper map, every store owner looked at me like I had three heads 🤣But honestly, paper maps are essential in places like the Southwest, where cell service is super spotty. Happy navigating!
Hi Guys! We’re living between Thailand and the USA. Watching your adventures about six months now. If you guys want a break while on Route 66 though Flagstaff AZ we are near Tucson you’re welcome to use our place for a break from the road if you need some pool time and want to do some hiking in the mountains
As an Aussie Route 66 is a bucket list ‘to do’. Interesting to hear your comments on how you think the USA has changed since you’ve been travelling the world.
Hi I love the fact that you tell us the price of things. So many videos without this information. Am doing route 66 in May. And can’t wait for the rest of your. Videos x
Once again a fun video. I am glad I am not watching in public. People would wonder at the permanent smile on my face and wonder what why. You have crossed The Nullarbor now time for Route 66. I am sure you will find great iconic US attractions , some may be cringeworthy, but that is what makes America …America.
Ill always remember road trips as a kid I was always the one with the road atlas. They are super helpful and so interesting to look at. America never ceases to amaze me how much there really is to see out there that you wouldnt even expect. You really could spend a lifetime finding new little corners and new experiences. Im really looking forward to the rest of this trip. You guys really know how to get out there headfirst and enjoy the little things 😊
After previously watching other Route 66ers on TH-cam, I had a inkling that Tia would find the Gemini man! Another Aussie enjoying your style and your adventures. Thanks for you clarification on Gas / Petrol, ha ha 😅
Looking forward to this 'road trip' and how much of the old Route 66 you get onto :) I was happy to just walk down through Seligman, AZ and checkout Angel & Vilma's Gift Shop a couple of years ago. Watched far too much American TV in my youth. :) Happy Trails guys and enjoy the 'cheap' petrol!
We just came back from Mexico via Amarillo and forgot about rt 66. About maple syrup.. maple leaf is on Canada flag because when early explorers came from Europe they had the beginning stages of scurvy by time they arrived. Native peoples cured their scurvy by feeding them maple syrup to drink.
I went with some friends down I-40 a couple years ago and kept begging them to go to the old route 66 stops! Petrified forest and palo duro canyon are incredible - definitely worth the detours!
LOL. Young people looking at paper map is like a deer looking at the headlight. People don't truly appreciate how amazing GPS navigation is: it not only shows you where you are going, the direction you are going BUT also WHERE YOU ARE. And it's so tiring to constantly keep track of where you are just so that you know you are on the right track. Those were the days.
I always find it cool to see travel vlogs from the US. It is home to you, but very foreign to me (as a Brit) - especially as you are travelling the splintered remnants of what's left of Route 66.
Just ❤watching you guys! Yes, another Aussie here! I love how you’re both so informative, cheerful and funny! Reading the paper map was hilarious! 😂Keep finding the ‘big things’ Tia. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next. Travel safe. 😍
Food hack for eating something that messy: When it comes with a base layer of packaging (in this case the aluminum foil), use that to handle it like a burrito. 😃. This should be a fun journey! I’ve driven through all 50 states but never officially followed Route 66.
While we're talking car names., someone above said Cherry, but as it's a rental and "fast" how about tweeking it to Cheri (Share-ree ) for a bit of glam? OR as it's a Honda (Asian company ) and we're still tying in the zippy thing, Goji? Go-gee, everything about that is about speed.
I'm guessing a road atlas=a road map!? We have one up on you, we have a "route 69"!!! hahaha The corn dog looks like a battered sav! have a safe trip and don't forget " click,clack front n back" !!!🇦🇺😊
Tia and Chevayo, wherever you have been in the world, I have never been concerned for your safety....now you are home again, I strangely am. Good luck. As soon as Tia said "It's time for our first attraction" I laughed and said gleefully "Something BIG?!".....YES!🤣 You mean to tell me America is now copying our great Aussie tradition?😅 At the end where you said "there's so much in our own back yard', I agree, I think a lot of Australians fall into the same trap and think they have to be travelling to other countries to see worthwhile things....not true. Our own countries are great and your's is no exception.👍
Looking forward to your Route 66 adventure. We would really like to know how you progressively feel coming back onto US food after Aus, NZ, Asia and Europe. More processed/additives. Looking forward to your opinions.
" Oh no, come on, seriously" All hail the Big Things on this adventure!! I enjoyed this video, always good to have a bit of a laugh. Looking forward to the rest of the Route 66 videos. Travel safe guys ❤
I had an inkling something big was coming up from Tia's giggle. As teenagers we sang "get your kicks on Route 66" with gusto. My husband prefers paper maps to Google, especially when you get no reception in some country areas here in Australia. Keep those videos coming, love your energy and thanks for taking us to places less touristy.
You will pass about 20 miles from our home. Wilmington or Dwight, Il. We did 66 from Texas back to Illinois. I like traveling the back roads of the U.S. or any country. Whole lot of Indian Casinos in Oklahoma.
Im going to enjoy this one! Enjoy travelling your own backyard - it's a great place to travel by car. Another Aussie who loves travelling and especially seeing all "Big Things" - go Tia 🤣
A great trip for you guys and us too . When you said STEED i was thinking you got a Mustang for your travels . In Australia a newsagent is a good place to get maps , is it called a bookshop in the stares? Happy travels :-)
COME ON CHEVEYO!!!!!! WHATS THE MATTER WITH YOU!!!! We love big things. Thats absolutlely awesome. We gotta show those Aussies we got big things too! LOL Looking forward to following your road trip with LOTS of "BIG THINGS" All the best to you froim San Diego, CA
I recommend getting in touch with Justin Scarred. He has a TH-cam channel and has done Route 66 a lot. He also is very very knowledgeable and knows where to find cool random places.
did you meet a friendly homeless guy with a little cat? We met him on the steps of the Art Institute, then he moved down to Miller's Pub where we had dinner
I started watching you guys to prep for a visit to my girlfriend in Sydney, but omg! I live in Chicago! I would have been just kiddy to run into you guys on the street 🥰 love following your adventures
We have a Dead Man’s Curve in Cleveland on I-90 (which is the longest stretch of highway in the US, from Massachusetts to Washington - if you want to do another US driving adventure!). But our Dead Man’s Curve is a 90* turn at the edge of Lake Erie…. They have concrete barricades and stuff but, I mean if you try hard enough you can go swimming 😅
Did you see the poster on he wall at 23.52? It says Cozy Dog has been owned and operated by Ed Waldmire's family since 1949. Ed was the father of Bob Waldmire - the artist from the yellow bus.
Oh wow, imagine filling up a tank in Australia for $ 55 AUD... thats pretty much 1/2 price by our standards.... of $ 1.90 per litre here - on a 'good day'....

I’m on Team Tia for seeing the big things - they are a great laugh and as an Aussie I’m hugely excited for Big Things American edition.
I gotta say, as an Aussie, Tia’s love for big things just widens my smile more than u2 usually do. Looking forward to this one. Thanks guys🇦🇺 safe driving
Yep, samesies
25:58 - Tia talks about not having seen much of America, but as an Aussie, they've actually seen more of Australia than I have, as I've never been to Western Australia or the Northern Territory.
Omg that Tia is finding big things there just to annoy Cheveyo is priceless! And now I’m craving some good maple syrup ….
Another American Australian here who is with you ALL THE WAY for the Big Things! Go Tia!
As an Aussie I like.your appreciation of the big things Tia. So much fun to watch you traverse your homeland after your globe trotting.
Not only is your vehicle a rental, but it's also red, which makes it even faster!
Known facts, rental cars can go fast. Any red car goes faster than any other colour

America, here we come back. Congratulation!!! Finally you guy back your home land again.

As an Aussie I’m so glad you found some ‘big’ things to find along your drive.
Enjoying the quaintness and history of Route 66’s small town America!
Excited to see more!
We need you honorary Aussie's back down here. More adventures await and maybe you could get Blueberry back and continue exploring this amazing land.
Mazda did an article on Blueberry and their road trip so maybe they'd be able to sponsor their next car - a 4WD maybe?
Very lovely to see how comfortable you are, travelling on home soil and discovering that getting to know your own country is also an important, valuable and fun experience. Safe travels and go the BIG THINGS.
Really nice to see you guys in the US. You both make us all smile. Safe travels!
As another Aussie, I am not at all put out by Tia’s love of Big Things!

Yay for BIG THINGS! Looking forward to seeing many more along the route!
Im really looking forward to how the landscape changes and what the small towns look like along the way.

Hell yeah. You did a lap (mostly) around australia and now doing this. Two things I very much wanna do! I'm so keen.
17:45 Cheveyo, true old-time gentleman, bro!

Are you guys aware there was a 60's pop hit called Dead Man's Curve? By Jan and Dean I think.
Looking forward to this 'road trip' and how much of the old Route 66 you get onto :) I was happy to just walk down through Seligman, AZ and checkout Angel & Vilma's Gift Shop a couple of years ago. Watched far too much American TV in my youth. :) Happy Trails guys and enjoy the 'cheap' petrol!
So glad that you’re doing “map time” for those of us with only a rudimentary understanding of American geography 😘😘😊
We just came back from Mexico via Amarillo and forgot about rt 66. About maple syrup.. maple leaf is on Canada flag because when early explorers came from Europe they had the beginning stages of scurvy by time they arrived. Native peoples cured their scurvy by feeding them maple syrup to drink.
I laughed so hard at the USA big things edition, loved seeing it in Australia! Tia , you rock!
Route 66 Oklahoma destination- Pops! Look it up! Very cool old school soda shop👍🏼
I went with some friends down I-40 a couple years ago and kept begging them to go to the old route 66 stops! Petrified forest and palo duro canyon are incredible - definitely worth the detours!

Been looking forward to this. What a beautiful country!
So envious.
Enjoy ❤
😂 those big things..Cheveyo's reaction is priceless. 🤣 Gets him every time. Loved the intro to your red rental guys 😂..
It's refreshing to see you go home and show us your country
So jealous. Its on my bucket list. Have a great time
Ok, call the car "TOM" for Tomato. Have a great trip, Cheers, Muffy from Oz.
I always find it cool to see travel vlogs from the US. It is home to you, but very foreign to me (as a Brit) - especially as you are travelling the splintered remnants of what's left of Route 66.
Van life sure has changed over the years :) We love seeing all the museums along the Route.
speaking for Americans viewing, this chapter has all the warmth of a big welcome home.
Ive got to admit, the Gemini Man is a little nicer than our Big Potato
🤣
Just ❤watching you guys! Yes, another Aussie here! I love how you’re both so informative, cheerful and funny! Reading the paper map was hilarious! 😂Keep finding the ‘big things’ Tia.
Can’t wait to see what’s coming next. Travel safe. 😍
Welcome home! Love from Oz👍👍
I have just watched my cousin and his wife do the exact same route in their RV so I am looking forward to your vlog. Have a great trip and stay safe.
Food hack for eating something that messy: When it comes with a base layer of packaging (in this case the aluminum foil), use that to handle it like a burrito. 😃. This should be a fun journey! I’ve driven through all 50 states but never officially followed Route 66.
Tia caught on with the aluminum foil trick. I did not 😂
Lived in Chicago in the 90s (I'm Australian) and was amazed at the messy hot dogs from the Plush Pup diner near where I lived.
I’m so excited about getting to see America with you guys!! 😘😘🤩🤩
Good to see you two with a new set of wheels. The road trips are my favourite.
While we're talking car names., someone above said Cherry, but as it's a rental and "fast" how about tweeking it to Cheri (Share-ree ) for a bit of glam? OR as it's a Honda (Asian company ) and we're still tying in the zippy thing, Goji? Go-gee, everything about that is about speed.
I love that you guys are doing this! This trip is also on my bucket list.
I'm guessing a road atlas=a road map!? We have one up on you, we have a "route 69"!!! hahaha The corn dog looks like a battered sav! have a safe trip and don't forget " click,clack front n back" !!!🇦🇺😊
Great content. Loving her happines.
Thanks! Another awesome video- I already know that I’m going to love this series!!!
I thought so. There are some mighty interesting parts down New Mexico way. Have fun!
I can't wait to see what you guys do in my home state in the next video!
Btw are we naming this rental?
‘Cherry’ immediately came to mind when I saw it!
That's cheap petrol, works out at $1.37 per litre. Love the big things as an Aussie, keep showing them please!
Yes....around $1.37 AUD.
Tia and Chevayo, wherever you have been in the world, I have never been concerned for your safety....now you are home again, I strangely am. Good luck.
As soon as Tia said "It's time for our first attraction" I laughed and said gleefully "Something BIG?!".....YES!🤣 You mean to tell me America is now copying our great Aussie tradition?😅

Seems India is not the place for white women travellers
Don’t get me wrong, I love your Foreign exploits but this was a refreshing and charming experience!❤
Yea Tia's big things - more-more-more-more-more-more
Joliet and Elwood - the Blues Brothers !!
Sorry guys, Tia’s cheeky grin kind of gave the big thing away😅 Looking forward to the rest of Route 66
Looking forward to your Route 66 adventure.
We would really like to know how you progressively feel coming back onto US food after Aus, NZ, Asia and Europe. More processed/additives.
Looking forward to your opinions.
First time I've seen a hotdog that needs Tia for Scale
Love that you translate for us Aussies these days i think we have got into your souls lol
" Oh no, come on, seriously" All hail the Big Things on this adventure!! I enjoyed this video, always good to have a bit of a laugh.
Looking forward to the rest of the Route 66 videos. Travel safe guys ❤
Re: Meteor Crater, AZ & Petrified Forest NP, AZ
Hi,
Meteor Crater, AZ and Petrified Forest NP, AZ are worth stopping at.
So excited about this series 😮😮😮
I had an inkling something big was coming up from Tia's giggle. As teenagers we sang "get your kicks on Route 66" with gusto.
My husband prefers paper maps to Google, especially when you get no reception in some country areas here in Australia. Keep those videos coming, love your energy and thanks for taking us to places less touristy.
Hope you get a boost in viewers - USA , lets go!!!
You will pass about 20 miles from our home. Wilmington or Dwight, Il. We did 66 from Texas back to Illinois. I like traveling the back roads of the U.S. or any country. Whole lot of Indian Casinos in Oklahoma.
Looking forward to the "biggest ball of twine in Minnesota"! ... a Wierd Al reference
Looking forward to your USA adventures keep safe❤️❤️🙋🏻♀️
Im going to enjoy this one! Enjoy travelling your own backyard - it's a great place to travel by car. Another Aussie who loves travelling and especially seeing all "Big Things" - go Tia 🤣
Interesting Bob Waltmire's bus wasn't covered in murals - but was a blank, timber canvas!
Hoping to see lots of off-the-beaten-path parts of the US I've never seen before.
A great trip for you guys and us too . When you said STEED i was thinking you got a Mustang for your travels . In Australia a newsagent is a good place to get maps , is it called a bookshop in the stares? Happy travels :-)
You hit the nail on the head. The place we found maps, Barnes & Noble, is a bookstore chain in the US.
I gotta say I really enjoyed this video. I’m just like you guys, I need to travel & explore my country more. Gotta check out Route (root) 66.
I play a Dr X Route 66 guitar amplifier so gonna dig this trip
But you still have to come to Tassie
You can normally get free maps at welcome center entering each states.
COME ON CHEVEYO!!!!!! WHATS THE MATTER WITH YOU!!!! We love big things. Thats absolutlely awesome. We gotta show those Aussies we got big things too! LOL Looking forward to following your road trip with LOTS of "BIG THINGS" All the best to you froim San Diego, CA
What a fun trip!

Big things America edition!! Love it 🤩🤩
The first week of May is the opening week for Route 66. I will be driving from Oregon to Chicago to drive it opening week.
did you meet a friendly homeless guy with a little cat? We met him on the steps of the Art Institute, then he moved down to Miller's Pub where we had dinner
I started watching you guys to prep for a visit to my girlfriend in Sydney, but omg! I live in Chicago! I would have been just kiddy to run into you guys on the street 🥰 love following your adventures

Love the "big things" road trip
You should stay at the legendary El Rancho Hotel in Gallup, New Mexico. I was there a year ago and it was awesome.
Did you see the poster on he wall at 23.52? It says Cozy Dog has been owned and operated by Ed Waldmire's family since 1949. Ed was the father of Bob Waldmire - the artist from the yellow bus.
Saw the title and thought how are you doing route 66 from Florida.🤪
Watch out for that
flourecent, radio-active relish.😂
Fun fact: in Australia, corn dogs are Dagwood dogs - no idea why!
I grew up in NSW and corn dogs were known as Pluto Pups
@@koyote2e511 cool! I didn’t know that!
was named after the cartoon series BLONDIE
Looks like a speeding ticket waiting to happen. Slow down and get us in the mood for a road trip!❤️
Oh wow, imagine filling up a tank in Australia for $ 55 AUD... thats pretty much 1/2 price by our standards.... of $ 1.90 per litre here - on a 'good day'....
Tia, also really looking forward to all the big things 😂
