HI - me and my husband are planning to travel to Missouri later this year - it will be our second only trip to America - the first being Tennessess which we absolutely fell in love with. We will only have 10 days to play with and want to get the best out of our trip so thought rather than stay at one loaction we would pick up a rented car at the airport and just drive and stay over wherevr we get to - but we cant work out which area to focus on first - I like the idea of the SE but the NW sounds great too. We dont mind cities but prefer to explore smaller areas of interest - love the outdoor life and just wnat to chill and soak up teh real atmosphere away from all the usual touristy things Any thoughts?
