Hey All.

Just decided to pack up my bags again and head to the states. Was looking at doing the Grand Southern tour. I had experienced the Europe Scene in 2001 and now I have let a few years past for work commitments and have decided to do the USA.

Questions.

Is July a good time to travel??
Would anyone recommend doing this tour?
Can you suggest some ideas for tours in LA & NY?

Love to hear some stories

Hey Josh, July wouldn't be the best time to go, late May early June would be much better. I'd say doing this tour is a good idae. But then you could always think about doing the grand Northern after this and then maybe going down to San Diego for a few days then hitting Vegas for a few more. Then you might even think about doing another tour like the California Highlights. If you had the time after all that you might even want to do a stop over in Hawaii.
New York tours: I'd do the hop on/hop off bus tours for sure. Get the pass that lets you do all 3 tours. Up Town/Down Town and Night tour. The company I used is Greyline.
I also think going to see a baseball game in New York would be fun, maybe a Mets game.
Here is a story from new York. It was my first day in New York so I got myself an apple and had my friend take a photo of me eating it with the Empire State Building in the background. It was so awsome.
