Grand Southern LA-NY tips & highlights
1 Aug 2012 Emma asked
Hey everyone!
Just wondering if anyone who has done the Grand Southern tour from LA to NY can give me some tips, or even better if you have a diary or something that you kept from your tour? I really want to make the most of the tour and do as much as possible.
Thank you!! :)

I feel like I’m going to vibrate out of my skin with excitement! You?
Did you book extra time before/after the tour? I have 4 days in LA before, but I don’t really know what to do.- 0 people like this

Yeah that sounds about right Haha as you going alone? ..
Yeah I have 3 days in la. And then 11 in new York .. which I think might be too long somedays and others I worry I won’t be long enough Haha
Don’t gave anything planned for either places as such but I know I want to see Hollywood and all that and I want to go to an ice hockey game in new York but that’s all I’ve got so far lol- 0 people like this

Fantastic! Sounds like we are doing practically the same thing! .. yeah I’m not sure on la .. probably won’t go to Disney land because we are going to Orlando .. probably just sightsee I guess .. I’m staying at a hostel too tho so Im figuring people there will get together and do dome things

Yeah, the hostel might make things easier for you :)
Just discoverd I can get a train to Long Beach for $3, little over an hour. Stops right at the aquarium, near the water. That’ll fill a day!- 0 people like this
