No we don't plan to Apricot. It will be mostly flights, trains, taxis etc. I don't fancy driving at all, I want to enjoy a relaxed holiday

No worries Apricot but there's no way we want to spend all our holiday in a car. It takes many hours driving through states. Sorry, not my thing at all.

Thanks Apricot
I'm looking forward very much to your report also. Perhaps you can do a thread about it with some photos maybe?
Have a wonderful time

Re: USA 2020 - Itinerary

I hired a car when we were over there. They are all idiots on the road they drive on the wrong side.
Joking apart I didn't find it that easy. Apart from getting used to sitting on the wrong side in a car and everything in a different place, the roads are confusing as are their rules. One is stupid, you can turn left or is it right, anyway the same side corner, even though the traffic lights are red.

Quickest way to score 10 points for every pedestrian you hit. Or that is how it was when we were over there

Down in Clearwater they had just added a roundabout for the traffic. Have you ever seen confused American drivers? well we saw loads trying to negotiate this one, they had not got a clue, could have just stopped and watched if we had not got other things to see. Far better than any what happened next TV show
