||||||||

there's plenty to see once you're in new york. I'm sure there's stiuff inbetween. Just be careful. I went on a roadtrip across the states last year, and one of my lasting memories is the coffee. They have cigarette flavour. I don't think it'll take off over here. Also, you might get annoyed that every single restaurant gives you 8 portions on one plate, and it's all so mediocre. But meh, it'll be one of the best times of your life regardless...unless you get murdered by some juliette lewis / woody duo. |

be sure to visit amoeba records in la. avoid texas, you are missing nothing. also if you eat at a waffle house (pork chops and eggs anyone?) go to the jukebox and play the waffle house theme song |

Go to Denny's. Good food. Strange people. Go to massive truck stops. They are the best on the road. I drove cross country too. You can go north, south, or down the middle. Visit the grand canyon. Vegas. Avoid Barstow. There is so much to see. Hard to give advice. I'm sure there are plenty of sites. If you are in California you have to drive route 1 and see the red woods. Route 1 is the best drive. |

Cheap food in the usa is great. You should go to Phily's south street too. Get a cheese steak! |
||||||||

|
ive been thinking of seeing some of the usa. anyone have experiences of using the rail network for travelling? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DO IT ~! very cheap (compared to gas) a little slow, but then you will be able to take it all in, trians will go thru mountains, wetlands, ect... |

Yeah, if I had to do it again I would go Amtrak. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You get to meet people that way too. |

going on a sky cycle or car wouldnt do it justice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
watch out for martians. |
||||||||

amoeba records in san francisco is fucking nice, as is the city itself. visit all the national parks you come across. dont forget vegas. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm.. i think ill fly to houston and go from there to la and then to new york. thanks for the advice, keep em coming! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Its funny, I would do anything to go to Europe or Australia. Id love to go to Israel, too. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
doubt you'll make it up to seattle then, but if you do, plenty of stuff to see. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
usa is huge tons of diff climates, landscapes, etc. hope you have lots of film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

milwaukee is quite pointless actually. I suppose it really depends on the time of the year. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should def visit some national parks. Yellowstone in the north is amazing. lots of wilderness preserves all over the states. see some mountains, some rivers, vast forests and such. the national parks are probably the best the US has to offer. as far as sight seeing goes anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is a nice trip yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would go from seattle down to la first |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, totally. fly into seatac. spend a few days in seattle, then drive out to Mt. Rainier National park, one of my favorite places to visit in the world. then drive down through Oregon, visiting many State and National parks. Stop in Portland, drink fine ales and microbrews, do a little sales tax free shopping. Drive further south into California, stopping at many beautiful Pacific Ocean Beaches on the way. and visiting the Redwoods to see some of the worlds biggest trees. That is a fine road trip i've made several times. |

I spent 2 motnhs in oregon, it was beautiful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did that quite a few years ago, its a genius road trip |
||||||||
|

I did New York to L.A on the Greyhound. Greyhounds are a real adventure but don't expect to be massively comfortable! Theres some mental people to meet this way. A 6 foot 5 black chap with dreds and hot pants told me i was on the same blood line as King Soloman. I felt honoured obviously. I did a bit on Amtrak- New York to Chicago. It was really nice but a bit more pricey. Grand Canyon is awe inspiring, as is Amoeba records. They don't have vinyl listening posts tho :-( |

Held og lykke mand! Kan kun blive en succes. |

Swing by my LA pad if you want. At first I will be a more than genial host, regaling you with tales of Hollywood and all the hot chicks I've banged. But as the evening progresses I will get shitted on whisky and cocaine and soon you will feel threatened and uneasy by my wild moodswings. Eventually I will totally flip out, and even though you try and run, I will pursue you on my motorbike and hunt you down and you will fucking rue the day you set foot at the Hopper estate. So, in summary, welcome. Fuckers. |

hmmmmmm you don't sound american at all. got a real uk vibe about you. i'll bet you've been here before. probably been banned. biding your time to make sure you could slip under the radar undetected. lurking in the shadows and so on. anyway, welcome to xlt! |
