one of the most amazing things to me was our parents navigation. my kids probably don't have a memory of anything but bluetooth telling me where to go. i'm always amazed my dad could drive into DFW (we're from West Texas) and know exactly how to get to wherever we were going.
Yep. Plus no review websites to help decide where to eat, sleep, etc.

My Mom would go to AAA and get these TripTik things that mapped out the trip.

true that.
i will say that i've traveled all of texas for years now with my job and can navigate most of DFW, Houston, Austin, and SA for the bigger things without putting anything in a map.
my kids do enjoy when we're traveling and i pull up to a great hole in the wall place without them having input. we did Snuffer's in DFW without telling them where we were going this week and they asked why i hadn't ever taken them to one before.
when I took trips growing up we went to whataburger, mcd, and subway on every vacation i ever remember.
