3) On the cheap for hotels food? How cheap do you want to go? Days Inn or Motel 6 is about the cheapest you will find. Rates will vary wildly between different parts of the country with NYC and LA probably being the most expensive. In many areas you can get a sparse but clean room for $30-$40 a night, you can probably tripple that for NYC. Insane. Cheap food? Fast food resturants or even better, mom and pop restaurants.
As cheap as possible but not in a tent. Thanks. What is mom and pop restaurants?
4) Long time, California is HUGE.
Yes, it's huge. 6 % bigger than my country.
7) For regular unleaded about bteween $1.75 and $2.20 depending on where you are. Figure in a compact rental you will get about 25 miles per gallon.
Or about 10.6 km per liter.
Yeah stay away from everywhere you mentioned. I'm sure I will piss some people off for saying this(sorry), but why visit the places you mentioned? NYC and LA are the left and right armpits of the US. Atlanta? That's the rectum of the US.
I take that as a good advice. Three weeks in New York sounds stressing.
There are so many places to see in the US, the big cities is the last place I'd recomend. Big cities suck, period. But then again it all depends on what your interests are. Personally I'd say instead of Atlanta, go airboat riding in the FL everglades. Instead of LA, go see the Grand Canyon. Instead of NYC go ANYWHERE
I am Norwegian, and I've never been to a really big city, that's why I want to visit New York (to walk bellow the skyscrapers, to get a view of the famous Manhattan skyline and such). But just for a couple of days. Then I want to go ANYWHERE. Maybe Florida, as you describe is as an interesting place. We have much nature/rural areas in Norway, and I actually want to see the nature/rural areas of other countries. Airboat riding in FL everglades sounds fun. Can I drive my own airboat? :-) Deep sea drift fishing sounds exciting. It's not catch and release, is it? Of course I must visit Kennedy Space Center too. Can you recommend visiting Key West?
What about taking the summer in Alaska? Have anyone been there? (seriously meant)
Thank you! :-D
