There is a lot to be said about getting from one place to another via the
bus. In cities like NY and LA you don't need the hassle of a car and you
certainly will be able to get around using public transportation. Once
there, if you want to see something special--in LA, for example, wine
country and even a side trip to Las Vegas, you can get a rental car for
several days or two. The advantage to driving on a side trip like that is
that there are a lot of interesting places on the way to stop and look
around. Also, you can stay a bit further out of town in less expensive
places. If driving from one state into another, stop at the "Welcome
Center"----Pick up the Discount books which contains lots of coupons for all
kinds of hotels/motels where you can stay at a much reduced cost--well worth
it.
If you have no problem with walking, get in shape because you will do a lot
of that too. Before you get to a place like NY, go on-line and get a bit
familiar with the subway/bus system and kind of plan how you would get from
one place to the other. It helps quite a bit.

hi sir, thanks for the comment. well i considered the car rental but
here in the philippines sir everyday i'm driving to and from work. we
just want to relax a bit from driving when we go out of the country at
least once in a year. greyhound prices are ok as i see it sir, it won't
cost us $130 for both one way. as our first time hopefully in the US, we
can study the transport system and how to avail them (car rentals, city
pass). how about city transport sir, is taking the cab ok from place to
place or we are used to walk just what we usually do in cities like,
tokyo, hong kong, singapore, bangkok etc.


thankyou
steve
