Myself and Friends thinking about going to america for a month during the summer?

Actually, you can get very good deals on the flights. If you fly to the US with one of the US-based airlines, many of them offer a "Visit USA" or "Visit North America" airpass where you can get very cheap flights around the US. Or try Southwest, Jet Blue, and Air Tran - they are the US versions of Ryanair or Easyjet.

Amtrak would probably cost more than flying. I would only do it if you really want the experience of the train ride.

Renting a car is another option, and would give you more flexibility as to where you go and when.

I don't think it will be worth your time taking a train across the country. And I'm not sure that there will be direct trains from the 3 locations you have mentioned. I think the train, amtrak.com, works best around the northeast and upper midwest states (i.e., Chicago to NYC, and surrounding areas).

Definitely, plan ahead and look up deals on flights - sometimes you can get real good deals. Some search engine sites for flights that I like are:

kayak.com

travelocity.com

Look at Wikipedia's low cost carrier airlines for USA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_low-cost_airl...

The other option is keep the east and south coast separately, so if you are on the east coast travel north and south by train or car, and when you are done with the east cost, fly across country and explore the west coast north and south by car or train.

Also, if you need to find hotels I highly recommend using priceline.com and bidding your own rates, however, this requires permanent traveling dates, not a lot of flexibility because of the prepayment. i use this site http://biddingfortravel.yuku.com/ to figure out what other people have been bidding in the areas I am planing to stay in and then use their bids as a guideline to keep my rates low.

Doing both the west coast and all of the east coast might be a bit much. I would suggest choosing one or the other OR do the east coast and fly to the west coast. The middle of the country doesn't have much to offer, and what there is to see/do is very spread out. You can get decent flights if you book in advance...You would only need a one way ticket anyways. Just fly home from the opposite coast you started at. Once you are on the east coast you can take amtrak (train) to all the major cities. I'm not as familiar with amtrak on the west coast, so it might be a better idea for you and your friends to rent a car, although driving in California is awful. Just remember that all the tourist spots are going to be crowded in the summer and hotel/flight tickets are at their highest. (except christmas) You're money would go further if you and your friends could come off season- like april or september.

Yeah... that will probably take you a whole month too, though. It is possible... check it out here: amtrak.com You might have more success with a car rental... not sure of the cost, but honestly you will have more options and more freedoms in terms of where and when you can visit places. You would probably be best served by comparing the cost of both train and car rental. A few airlines also offer decent prices on some routes... try southwest.com or jetblue.com. Good Luck!

First of all, usually the people being bullied are the better ones. You are the better person. The people that bully you are rolling lumps of terd. Ignore them! You do have a talent, everyone does, and your not worthless. Nowhere near worthless. To many people, in fact, you are the most valuable thing in the entire universe. Such as your mom, dad, grandparents, and your friends. Lets say those rolling terds are making fun of you again about what you wear, just laugh along and say " Haha! I know! Your's look the same way! We're twinkies! " Then follow them around the rest of the day, and annoy them about the joke they made up! Eventually, they won't mess with you anymore cause they know what's gonna happen. And as soon as they say something awful to you, tell the counseler. And tell her how you feel about yourself. It's not your fault! It's the rolling terds! Oh, and if they are coming up to you, and your friends aren't there, just start laughing obnoxiously at them before they even say anything! They'll be so annoyed, the won't bother you! -B*

You may as well take a plane for each destination. might be cheaper too.

US is pretty big.
