Hi Everyone,
For my Grad trip,(early June) I will be travelling to USA for about a month, and I will be crossing several states. The tentative journey will be:
1. San Francisco 2. Los Angeles 3. Las Vegas
Flying from Vegas to:
4. New York 5. Connecticut
I'm a terrible noob at American travel, so I would appreciate any help from anyone who knows anything about the states. Here are the general questions I have:
- I want to rent a car to travel from San Fran to LA, and then LA to Vegas. Any car companies to recommend? - I am hoping to meet anyone in the areas I've stated above. Anyone in the areas? - Any other tips/ recommendations for travel, do mention.
Thanks Guys!~

Your driving in some of the worst states for traffic. Be careful. Also. Freeway gas prices are higher than in some cities and towns. Not sure if that helps but..
O and pay attention to the road.

When I flew to Hawaii I checked for car rentals nerd there. Alot of them you can set up to have it ready when you get there. Always lock your car when you leave. Period.

Thanks oak, you confirmed a couple of things for me.
And yes colossal I know its barely even US for that matter.. Just a bit of west coast and a touch of east.
We need a car because LA is really boring if you don't drive.. It'll be uber boring.

If your going to NY, I think you already know where to go. Obviously, Times Square, Empire State Building, World Trade Center site (you have to get tickets ahead of time for this), Statue of Liberty (Not sure if it is open right now because its colld)
There are broadway shows, You can eat at Ninja NY.
Im not sure regarding the price of the hotels but NJ is literally one 15 min train ride away and maybe the hotel rates vary by a longshot. Anywhoo, enjoy and let me know if you got questions.
=)

I've always relied heavily on national railways when I'm overseas.
