wykikitoon 16474 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 There's so many places in the USA I would love to visit. Covid aside, the one thing that's putting me off visiting them is that cunt in charge. Is that daft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8946 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Shouldn't impact your visit unless you get drawn into a political conversation with locals. Although, politics is a favourite topic, to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16474 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Did you tour much when you were there @Gemmill I want to goto Yosemite, Tahoe, Austin, Boston to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34157 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Aye been to Yosemite and Tahoe - Tahoe a few times cos it was only a few hours drive away. Went to the deep south, Missisippi, Alabama, Louisiana. Worked a bit in Phoenix, Philadelphia, bits of Maryland, Illinois. Just call me Root Beer. The best bit about working there was, if you were sent to somewhere for the week, and it got to the weekend and they wanted you back there on Monday, whatever it would cost to get you back to home and then back there for Monday, you could use that budget to go somewhere else as long as you were back to where they wanted you for Monday. So if I'm in New Jersey on Friday and it would cost me £x to get back to home (San Francisco) then back again for Monday, I can spend that £x on a weekend in New York instead. Which was a canny good deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34157 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 It's meant to be a mint place. College town, big music scene, lots of bars etc. None of which is any use at the minute mind. And Texas is also covid central right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34157 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Pretty sure Lance Armstrong owns a bike shop there as well, which is why wykiki will want to go. Pay homage to a giant of the sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19720 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I used to love roadtrip holidays in the states, the scale and beauty at the National parks and the Pacific coastline is staggering, then you try your luck with a random motel, stumble across funny little hick towns, roadside diners, getting sozzled on bourbon. Fell in love with California and almost ended up working out there a few years back but looking at what has happened there since, it kind of feels like it worked out for the best.

Went there a few times in my 20s, east coast only, and enjoyed it, although never liked it as much as here or Europe tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
