The car: rental or purchase?

Image
In fact, it's not that simple. The problem does not come so much from the purchase of the vehicle, nor from its potential failures, no ... does the concern come from insurance. For limo services  Hanover to Logan Airport Limo Car Service .  If there is indeed  an important element in any good road trip, it is the car . Whether it is sporty, convertible, rather all-terrain or sedan-type crossover, the trick is that we will stay there aboard for a few weeks, if not a few months. It is therefore necessary to find a comfortable vehicle  , with a bit of mouth if possible, ready to cash the kilometers and incidentally at good price. And there, good news, the rates of car rentals in the United States are rather cheap, the competition being particularly fierce between the rental companies. A tip: do not wait to arrive in the US, at the airport, to rent a car. Make it your home, with the sites of rental companies or intermediaries like rental ...

Initial contacts with the Americans

Image
The next step is the meeting with the Americans, on their territory. And this first contact is likely to be impressive since you have to show white paw to controls, with fingerprints, photos, reason of the trip, etc ... But after this first exchange probably a little cold, you risk worshiping US. In general, what prevails in the USA is respect and kindness. Whether in the restaurant, in a shop or on the street, the Americans know how to show their kindness. And wait to be treated in the same way. To each person met in the restaurant, in a sound "How're you doing '?" Or "Morning ', how are you today?” We never really knew if we had to return the question so we always responded with a shy "Fine". Americans speak very easily ... We have often seen supermarket cashiers and customers exchange a few words about time on their lives and hop each one resumes his way. As soon as you get lost in a city, an American will kindly ask you if you need he...

Finding the right flight

Image
After taking 5 flights, the first advice that can be given about the choice of airplane flight is to take into account the price quality of the ticket, and the company (and not that the price lower). For best limo services  Hanover to Logan Airport Limo Car Service . For a Paris - New York, it takes about 8 hours of flight . We had very good flights with British Airway and Delta Airlines. There is room for the legs (very important for Seb), British tee file iPod to play or watch movies while Delta has the biggest catalog of movies we've ever seen. From experience, to have a very good value for money , you must:  Get a little early (like 1 month or more) If possible choose dates of departure and return outside weekends Test with different computers if you repeat the operation, avoid IP tracking Test smaller airports (Florida or Washington for the east coast, Salt Lake or Phoenix for the center ...) There is such competition among air...

Formalities before leaving: visa, passport and ESTA

Image
Before living the adventure of his dreams, it is already happening ... in the United States. The first thing to do to go to the USA is the visa. And the good news is that in the United States, as in most other countries, for tourist stays of less than 90 days, there is no need for a visa. So the question is resolved. Attention however, 90 days does not mean 3 months eh, that means 3x30 days ... and the Americans do not laugh with the rules. On the other hand, two things are absolutely necessary: A biometric or electronic passport  with a validity period of 6 months at the entry of the country Electronic Travel  Authorization (ESTA) to recover at least 72 hours before leaving on the official website of the US territory security . There are sites that act as intermediaries, but they will take you money by the way, the link above is the only official one. The ESTA is valid for two year...
