Advice on a trip to USA?
Hi everyone
I’m planning on taking a trip to the USA at the end of 2009/early 2010
I need some advice on how much money I need to save for the trip
I’m planning on going to Seattle, New York, Hawaii, Grand Canyon, Central Park…
I need to account for airfares, accomodation, food, travel, etc.
I currently have $4000AU, how much would the total be?
Would I have to also hold a job to keep up with costs?
Also does anyone have any suggestions to any good cities to visit, and any advice for living in the USA?
Thankyou very much for your time.
You certainly want to compress a lot of sight seeing into a small package.
$4,000 UAD converted to US $ at todays rate is $3,842.80. It you are frugal and stay at the cheaper places or check on line for couch surfer places, it should get you by for a month or two.
I would cut out Hawaii and make it a separate trip. It is extremely expensive and you will spend a sizeable portion of your savings there. If you do go to Hawaii, buy your round trip ticket with a layover in Hawaii. Make it the first stop on your journey.
You will not be able to legally get a job in the US unless you can show proof of legal residency. Employers hiring tourist or illegal aliens are fined, and the alien is arrested and deported.
To work, you would need to obtain a Work Visa and a Temporary Resident card. These things need to be applied for prior to coming to the US.
Best Advice is to follow the common sense rules you use when in Sidney. Stay out of areas that look bad, because they are. Never carry large sums of money on you. Get a Visa Credit Card, and draw money out of the ATM’s as you need it.
You should consider how you plan on getting around the country. Air fare is extremely expensive and you don’t have enough money to buy airline tickets to all the places you have listed.
The US rail system is expesnive & dismal at best and doesn’t serve many of the places you want to go.
The US is an auto based society. We depend on personal owned vehicles to get around. Check on line to see how much car rental places will charge you to use a car. Then don’t forget the cost of insurance and gasoline. Currently averaging $4.00 per gallon. (128 liquid ounces or 3.8 litres)
To tell you of all the things you will need to know and cool things to see will take more space than YA will allow.
