OK hypothetically (for now) lets say you're going on a coach from New York and want to end up in L.A.

DEFINATE stops are Washington DC, Minneapolis, North Carolina and Chicago...

Americans (or anyone else) which way do you suggest to venture on this journey? what or where would you suggest I don't leave the US without seeing?

New York to Orlando(spend 3 days there) Orlando, Florida to Ft Lauderdale, FLorida (spend 2 days there), Ft Lauderdale Florida to Miami/South Beach (Spend 3 days there), Miami South Beach Key West, Florida (spend 2 days there), then from Key West to Ft Myers Florida (spend 1 day there), then from Ft Lauderdale to Tampa/St Pete Florida (spend 3 days there), then from Tampa, Flrodia to L.A.

Fisrt off, don't go on a coach Why would you want to be on a coach full of people you don't know for all those hours? Get yourself a 4x4, not a minivan, a proper 4x4, I have never done an trans-american roas trip, but I have been on an Egypt to Morocco trek, took a Land Rover and it saved our lives on a few occasions

you think I should see some of Florida, huh?

GaryTheNoTrashCougar said:

Quite simply - money it's EXTREMELY cheap for a non-US citizen to get an unlimited pass for the whole of the US and plus I really like travelling and don't mind bus travel at all

I'm sick I know

I have adored New York, New Orleans ( ), San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Chicago and, of course, my home here in Minneapolis. Vegas is a fun spectacle too. I've always wanted to visit DC, Boston and Savannah (Georgia).
Many of those aren't exactly on the way.

Natisse said:

You really are sick!

The southwest is gorgeous, too, but I expect you can see similar land in Australia, what with dessert and mountains and such. I had never seen anything like it in person when I went to Arizona this last April.

CarrieMpls said:

SO many of those places I'd love to see... I am going to have to cut it down though unfortunately because otherwise I'be literally criss-crossing all the way over

you never DO know though...

Natisse said:

If you want to do Mpls & Chicago for sure, I'd suggest maybe crossing in the north, then. New York to DC to Chicago to Mpls, to the badlands in South Dakota (Mount Rushmore is there and its gorseous land) to Seattle then down to San Francisco and finish in LA. You could maybe even fit in a stop at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio.

CarrieMpls said:

OMG!!


the only thing I'm sure about at this stage is that I need to end up in L.A. I'll be flying back to Sydney or Brisbane from there

thanks for the Carrie hon

Natisse said:

Will you be making a stop in Mpls. in time for the October invasion?

The only 3 states in the Union worth visiting or living in are:
New York, Florida and California. Those folks in the other states will definately back me up on this statement as I'm pretty sure they're quite miserable living where they do. Even Chicago doesn't count becuase the rest of Illonoise(sp?) sucks ass.

Hope this helps.

no It will be late April/May when I come through

Imago said:

cool thank you ...Chicago is a definate though I've got people there I want to meet. and Mach is in North Carolina I'm not leaving the US without seeing her

Imago said:

You are such an ASS!!

CarrieMpls said:

a months unlimited travel is still only 275.869 GBP

Imago said:

BUZZ OFF


NC rocks

from its western mountians to it's eastern coastline

and Michigan is incredible with all those powerful great lakes surrounding it


you SO VERY much need a hard spanking

There are Americans who think delusionally that their states might actually be good places to live, Nat. Do not be fooled!

Imago said:

oh it's ooooon now

NYC > Washington DC > NC > Chicago > Minneapolis > down through the middle to Texas > Austin > Arizona (Phoenix probably) > Vegas & The Grand Canyon > San Francisco > L.A. (via Highway 1)

anyone else have any input or ideas? please?

Natisse said:

If you're going to Mpls you may as well shoot up and see me in Winnipeg, its not that far and easy to get across the border that leads from Grand Forks ND as long as you have your passport

DETROIT!!!

If you go to Chicago, you'll be a 3.5 hour drive away

PurpleThunder said:

really? how long do you think it would take, hon? I'd LOVE to come visit you!!

applekisses said:

DETROIT ROCK CITY!!! I'd so love to see it, apples, you never know

Natisse said:

To get to Winnipeg from Mpls its about a 7 hour drive depending on how often you stop, but depending on your choice of transportation it could be less.

PurpleThunder said:

I will definately keep it in mind... thank you!!
