So, some of you will already have seen oxfordslacker 's entry on the subject, but here's mine. We've managed to cobble together a rough itinerary for the trip to the states in May that looks like it'll work and also doesn't cost a fortune. It goes as follows:

14th May: Fly into Washington/Baltimore
17th May: Drive to Toronto/Hamilton
20th May: Drive to Chicago
22nd May: Plane to Vegas
29th May: Drive to San Fransisco (possibly stopping with trelana on the way)
3rd June: Fly to London

We have managed to find this for not too crazy prices so the question is, are we crazy? The driving looks long but do-able and like it would be through some really nice areas. Will we, as non-Americans, have trouble driving across the Canadian border?

Since you are giving yourself no time for jetlag recovery befgore you hit the road...a few things you should know:

- The Pennsylvania Turnpike (if you use that route to cut through those eastern hills optimistically called 'mountains') is astonishingly boring to drive. Make sure you keep eachother awake and alert.

... additionally, Pennsylvanians have an annoying habit of stopping completely in the acceleration lane to check for oncoming traffic before attempting to merge. It's their law, and it's madness.

- Ohio: oh dear god why does that place even exist? ;-)

....

lastly, it would be a shame to leave Baltimore before going to the indoor seafood market down by the port area. It's awesome! :-)
