Cross Country
"Geoff Pedder" wrote in message ... I'm planning a trip driving from Los Angeles to New York City, I live in the UK. I've checked out flights and car hire but I could do with some advice. How long would a fairly relaxed journey with time enough to detour slightly take? I was planning on three weeks. Has anyone done a similar journey? Straight through without sightseeing would probably take about 5 days. So yes you can certainly do plenty in 3 weeks. I don't know what I should check out in particular. I would like to see some sights that are a little different that the usual tourist traps. Any advice? Try to avoid the interstate freeways as much as possible. Take the smaller more winding roads. Any survival tips would be cool, like how easy is it to navigate US cities in a car, how expensive is a gallon of gas, should I book hotels in advance or just turn up at motels, basically anything like that. Depending on which city. Some cities are a bear, heavy traffic or one way streets abound. A gallon of gas is around $1.50. But who knows in a couple of months, or even weeks. It seems daunting to plan this stuff right now but I'm determined not to wimp out and go to Spain! Regards Geoff Pedder |
