  I’m travelling solo. Are you travelling with friends?
  What are you both looking forward to the most?
  I can’t wait to see New York, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon and so much more. I can’t believe how excited I am when there is still 5 months to go

  I’m travelling solo also.
  I’m looking forward to everywhere! But in particular The Grand Canyon, Vegas and New Orleans.
  I can’t believe it’s only 5 months away – seems like I’ve been counting down the days forever!
  If you have any questions about anything on the second half (New Orleans-New York) feel free to ask and I’ll see if I can remember =)

  Do you remember how much money you needed on average each day? I really don’t
  know if I’m going to be taking the right amount. Also are there any optionals that you did
  that you would recommend?

  Money is a hard one… there were some days when I spent less than $20 US and other days when I spent way more! For this one I’ve averaged it out at $50 a day, with a little extra for random things.
  Oh and factor in tipping the bus driver and the tour manager – I forgot to last time and it stung a little.
  Also it helps if you work out how much the optionals you may want to do are beforehand.
  I think I did most of the optionals and enjoyed them all. People from the 1st half last time said the New Orleans cooking school was a waste of money. I’d definetly recommend the Miami boat cruise – best $50 I spent (all you can drink for 2hrs)!

  Hi people! I am going too and booked! Wait for me and I will see you guys in LA! And then I will have to finish in New Orleans (That means First Half, Southern Adventure only) because I need to fly to Chicago (and Philly) to visit my US friends :)

  Greeting I am Kenny from Sydney, Australia! :) :) I will travel solo and would like to visit more people around the world….Nice to meet you Ang, Katey, GLenda too :) Vegas, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon……….WOW!

  Besides I will arrive in LAX on 27th June. This is because I have another tour to be done. However, I will be back to LA again on 7th July so that we can meet each face to face around 7pm for pre-departure meeting :D

  For the money issue, I highly recommend you guys bring $3000 – $4000 as you may pay for some exclusions :)
