USANewest Review: ... Built in the 1930s it is a stunning piece of art deco architecture. Conclusion Should you rent an RV and drive 4,500 miles through the national parks of USA? I would say yes, but unless you are very hardy don't do it until the snow has melted. Having your own kitchen means there is at least a chance of decent food in even some of the more remote parts of America, it is very inexpensive and ... more |

4,500 mile road-trip in a 24' long RV round the national parks of Utah, Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona... I am a very keen traveler and have been to many obscure places around the world, but I have never been too enthralled by American "culture", after all, you can get that anywhere or just turn on the telly, so I wasn't really planning to go there on holiday at the moment. I have been to the US of A more than ten times, mostly on business, because I worked for a Silicon Valley company for 15 years, and have done a couple of driving holidays there too. The weak dollar did however make a trip to America quite tempting and I do love the ... Read the complete review

'Americans, you either love em or you hate em?' well, that depends on which americans, you talk about. If you mean the native americans, the only true americans, the chances of actually meeting one are pretty remote so you will never find out. The only places you might find some are at casinoes and selling cut price cigarettes on the scanty reserves of land left to them by the europeans. Do you mean the black americans, well, if you are white, dont expect much contact with them, in most the the cities, the black keep very much to themselves, the is a LOT of segregation. It took a long time before i even saw children of different races mixing, let along ... Read the complete review

Americans. You either love 'em or hate 'em ? apparently. After a few months backpacking around the US of A, I personally couldn?t fail to love them. They, and their country are "just awesome" (as many American would say!). No matter how many times I heard "Wow, I just lurve your accent" or "Have a nice day", the cynical side of me thinking it wasn't really meant did not win over, and I genuinely felt most American?s were delighted to have us visit and make sure we had an 'ace' time! The beauty of the USA is the sheer vastness, variation and extremes of places to see and things to do. This, however, quickly ... Read the complete review

It's very hard to go to the category of traveland do a review on The United States in General The United states is 50 individual and separate states divided into regions. I am going to write about only one region. >The Northeastern Region The northeastern region is the area of the 13 original colonies. The climate in this part of the United States is broken down into 4 seasons, winter, spring, summer and fall. Winteris the time of snow and hibernation of plants and many animals. It is a time of rest for mother nature. Springis the time of nature's rebirth. The trees bloom into beautiful green splendor, the flowers bloom, ... Read the complete review

For £250 off peak (september - June) or £350 peak you can buy an Amtrak rail pass. This gives you unlimited travel across the US onboard luxury trains. It is a far supreior option to a Greyhound bus pass which are very uncomfortable and full of criminals and a lot cheaper than flying everywhere. The trains are very comfortable with large seats and the long distance trains have a cafe, restuarant (very reasonable prices)and an observation car as well as sleeping carriages for a supplement. Many of the trains travel throught the night. This allows you to travel long distances without using your valuable time and saving on accomadtion costs. It is cool to wake up in ...
