Thanks MidsyMidsy said:Just south of the i40 is a place called Lake Havasu. Great area for swimming and playing around. It's now the location of the original London Bridge - the Yanks who bought it thought they were buying Tower Bridge. London Bridge was taken down stone by stone, shipped to the US and rebuilt exactly as it was in London.
There's a few DFO's in the area as well if you like a bit of cheap shopping.
Yep it’s a definite Ian , doin one in the chopper that goes along the Colorado river firstIan4 said:grand canyon
Did the States back in April. Yosemite is nothing short of spectacular and a chopper flight over the Grand Canyon is definitely worth it and beats driving out there.CC TIGER said:Locked in Yosemite, New York (Boston) and Las Vegas in October, going to hire a car from Vegas and do a day trip out i40 ( Route 66) .

Understand. I’ve only one left now the other 3 are adults (kidults?) so I’m hoping more travel beckons.Ian4 said:Thanks. I was successful in the ballot for Denmark v Australia so its upwards and onwards from here. ;D
FYI, I'm wouldn't say I'm on mega bucks dude. The key to my lifestyle and being able to travel a lot is simple... no kids.
I stayed on East 7th st in January last year in a despicable Airbnb joint but I did like east village.bigwow said:Hoping to pick the brains of our US based PRE'nders.
Looking at travelling to NYC in April 2019, and have been looking on Air B&B for accommodation, and found a couple of apartments in the East Village , that appeal to all intending travellers. Is early April a good time to be in Manhattan/NYC, is the East Village a suitable family stay area? It does seem reasonably well serviced by Public transport etc, and not too bad place to base ourselves. Daughters will be 16 & 17 if we travel in April.
I was there in April 2016 bigwow, good time weather wise I found, cool but not cold. I stayed on 8th Avenue near time square, great location, walking distance to so many things, subway is so easy to her around and only costs $30 for a week. Uber works well there. If your doing the touristy stuff I recommend getting a New York pass, saves heaps of time by not having to line up for tickets, plus some atttractions it has an express lane, very good value imho. Doing a big bus trip is a cool way to see all of NYC, New York pass gives you a day on this.bigwow said:Hoping to pick the brains of our US based PRE'nders.

I love that way of travelling. Pretty flexible too. Can be as cheap or expensive as you like. For example, my wife and I have done it before. My wife likes creature comforts more than I. So often when we backpacked it was budget hotels or private rooms in hostels/guesthouses, instead of the absolute budget option of a dorm room (plus braking it up with stopping in and staying at friends places).Mr Brightside said:Thinking of backpacking from Texas to Boston in Xmas 2020, I’ve never back packed before , anyone got any tips ?
