well what i have done in the past is allow players to detail their homelands a bit, and then build on them, incorporate them into my world. it usually works out beautifully.

Cool. Good idea. But here's the problem: my character and the DM's char are siblings,(like real life) and there's only one other character.
It's....well here, let me explain. We just defeated a Shadow Dragon in the Underdark. K? We got the stuff, saved the town from the puppeteers, and are ready to leave the town. We're going to head to Sparklegem city, a major city that we left from earlier. Now here's where the DM gets stuck. The journey to the city, for one, poses a problem. And where to go after that, that's where he REALLY gets stuck.

sounds like your DM lacks or is in short supply of a crucial DM commodity: imagination....just hearing that setup, i can think of ten or so things that could happen along the way, places to go related to such things, etc.

well let's see...you could run into any number of random quest-giving npcs on the road...a band of traveling cultists, good, evil, or neutral who are trying to find their messiah says that one of the party members is said person, leading to all kinds of trouble. a wizard randomly falls out of the sky (a la morrowind)...if the shadowdragon was old, you find out it had a hidden rookery with eggs or hatchlings with no parent....what do you do? uhm...what else... while camping on the road, it starts to snow, though it's not the season for it...what is happening with the weather? you have to seek out a druid to find out if they know anything, or ignore it and find out something sinister is afoot...
the possibilities are endless, that's the point of the game.
