two weeks in the U.S.
"VOLTS" wrote in message ... hello, i'm steve from the philippines. me and my wife are planning to visit the US this coming december hopefully if visa approve. will $7,000 USD fit for 16 days? our plan will start in los angeles for 4 day stay then to new york for another 4, washington dc for 4 and back to new york before returning to los angeles. our last leg will be los angeles before returning to the philippines. Perhaps it's me but if I only had 12 days in the US I wouldn't use 4 of them for LA and 4 of then or Washington. Unless you want to use the time visiting theme parks, LA is the least interesting destination in CA, San Francisco or San Diego are much more interesting towns to visit and then there's a whole load of National/State parks to visit. The main sights of Washington are a one day affair, after that you will be visiting places of secondary interest. Boston or Chicago would be a much better choice here IMHO. tim |

Add in places like Venice Beach.and the Santa Monica Pier. But the LA area is huge and a car is a necessity, and some of these places are so far apart one might prefer to change lodging each night. -- Dave Hatunen, Tucson, Arizona, out where the cacti grow |

This may be a bit confusing -- Dave is quoting remarks that Tim and Doug made about Washington, but Dave himself is talking only about Los Angeles. He appears to be responding to remarks in a *different* part of Tim's posting than the one he quoted.

Being from LA, I couldn't agree more. Two days in San Diego or 3 days in San Fransico would be better, with the balance added to New York. |
