USA

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Right I'm thinking of [****!!****] off to the USA from March 25th to April 15th, any good tips on where to go.

 

This is a very good time to go as flights to New York are only £200 on ba.com and i'll be able to live like a king with my superior sterling!

My mate did a month-long tour and says it's the best holiday he's ever been on.

 

If you're there for three weeks, mate, I'd be inclined to travel around a bit.

 

Start in Boston and make your way down to L.A.

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I will travel a bit, I'm intending for a couple of people to come as well, I think gertcha will come for the last leg and I'm sure Morley or Baevers will come over for the first bit.

 

Apparently New Orleans is meant to be wicked!

Hang on... March 25th - April 15th....

 

Surely you're not bottling the trip to Aylesbury after what happened last year!!

Besides I'm worried about gun crime ..... so the States will be a safer place <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Boston is a great place - best bit of advice - go and watch an ice hockey game, you can drink watching the action, plenty of fights, the locals are mainly drunk (and a bit redneck), atmosphere a bit organised but it is priceless to hear the drunk rednecks come out with comments like "Go home Dallas you suck". Also be prepared to high five anyone sitting near you if the home team scores.

 

Excellent evenings entertainment - the Bruins at the Fleet Centre.

[CANV EFM]

dont forget your visa and make sure you have a p.ss before you get on the plane, in case some trigger happy redneck sky marshall from good ole alabame slots you with a 9mm for daring to order a drink

went for a month myself.

 

San Diego is a big party town with great beaches and and plenty of good bars and clubs. Dont do San Fran as it is always cold and windy kinf of place you go when your old.

 

Chicago in my opinion is well underestimated and is like new york but with character and charm.

 

LA to exspensive and full of poor people trying to be rich. vENICE Beach is the best bit.

 

If your traveling around USA dont stay in youth hostels stay in residential hotels. There bigger cheaper and you get your own TV and you dont have to talk to hippie students who want to tag along with you everywhere.

 

Beer in America is about 5 dollars so will work out about the same price as over here.

 

Even though you look your age and alot older Thornsy 90% of pubs wont serve people without your passport they dont even except foreign driving licenses.

 

When you go to airportds allways have a adress of where your staying otherwise they will cal you in for interigation.

 

Mexicans on the west coast didnt see eye to eye with me, dont think they have the same humour.

 

Allways be polite and act posh and you will find that the yanks will bend over backwards to help you out.

 

 

[JKiF]

agree on all points except san fran

 

big dance music scene out there

home of the excellent Naked records as well..

 

horses for courses i guess...
