    Howyiz lads, cheers Deado! smile.gif

    Was in Roswell yesterday after Socorro, stopped in Odessa, TX for the evening (crap town, just oil refineries an crap. Roswell was good, but it's more of an "Alien C ash Site" typos intended. Interesting to see the UFO museum/research centre smile.gif

    Now in Dallas, heading in for a pint in Green Elm.

    It's dark outside but still 91F bloody hell!

    Off to the Kennedy Space Centre in Houston tomorrow, after that off towards New Orleans.

    We hit the 2000 mile mark today outside Dallas-Fort Worth.

    So far we've seen Universal Studios in Hollywood, the Strip in Las Vegas, done an air flight over the Grand Canyon, seen Carlsbad Caverns, and been in Roswell. Not bad for 7 days work! smile.gif

    Gonna take it easy in New Orleans for a coupla days.

    oh, yeah, if anyone is doing a road trip over here *MAKE SURE* to pick up "Traveller" free magazine, it's in most Denny's and McD's - it's got free coupons for loads of motels, it's been invaluable to us.

    ok, take it handy!!

    PS Not all americans are stupid! They must ship the stupid ones our way... frown.gif

    Uh, ppl, I can't say this enough, but keep yer noses outta other ppls business!

    But seriously, this is a holiday: I can and will do what I want. As it is, email is about 1000 times cheaper way to communicate with my family than phones are from here, so no - I won't get off the damn NET smile.gif

    I'm not sorry if you have a problem with that - it's your problem. smile.gif

    What idiot is going around telling people that web & email is for work purposes only? frown.gif

    Any other questions? smile.gif

    Oh oh, I have a question!
    I just want to get some suggestions for a theory I have - 'Dennys attracts the weirdos at night.'
    Check in on it at 1am, it'll be empty, but there'll be at least one weirdo there, I'm sure of it!

    rotflmao smile.gif ok, can do. Will provide results in the post...

    Err, we drove past Compaq in Houston, does that count? smile.gif

    Boss - you're dead right - travel is great - but 3 days in Texas is 3 days too many! Damn oppressive, it's like being in some fundamentalist state or something, I felt more safe in Old Delhi Railway station (not a safe place).


    Anyways Lousiana is great, we're up over in New Orleans now, going to stop over a coupla days.

    Take it handy,

    Al.

    Cheers Dav, have done! The guy emailed me anyways, he's sound enough.

    New Orleans is like Dublin, people here are drinking all day, everyday! Mad smile.gif

    Thanks, regards to Al & Mac!

    I dont mean to be rude now, but how much does a holiday like this cost ? I was thinking of 'doing america' when I finish school next year or so.

    It's about a society in freefall....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    I reckon 3 grand would cover it nicely.
    Depending on what you want to do, and what your standards of accomodation are.


    [+_+] <--- omg!! it's a lego man!!!™


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Sucky Sucky Fi Dollah......... My father traveled america for a few months, like 6 I think, cost him a few grand. About 5000 like santa says it depends what accomadation you want. Although if you stay in youth hostels that end of it would be cheap, and if you cook your own food, sure the most expensive thing then will be to get in to the sites to see.

    Hey there, now in Florida, near Panama City, still trying to recover from 3 days in New Orleans! If you're coming over here make sure that you plan a few days there!

    Flights were £560, EI/BA via London. It's costing about $20 - 25 a night for accomadation.

    Hiring a car is a little expensive, if you have friends/relatives over here check out if they know of any cars for sale, you could pick up something to get you across the country & resell it.

    New Orleans is expensive cos you'll end up drinking all day every day. Great place though!! smile.gif

    Rightio, out to enjoy the Florida storms...

    Al.
