  1. Fucked up weather. Did not expect 60F and 20+ mph winds in Moab. Still,the arches are pretty cool.
  2. Lots of things are very different. When I get back homeboy sure I will go in to lots of detail. But for now...every ATM charges like $3-4 for withdrawal? What's up with that? And gas stations are weird with the prepaying. That doesn't exist back home - you pull in, fill up and pay. Not that things are bad, just different.
  3. Everything is so big here. Which seems odd until you see the people, then you realise it's all in proportion.
  4. Nope, no differences in law. It's more like differences between EU countries to be honest, which I get, but you have one country. And think about this - I start on the AZ/NV border, and it's midday. I go east, in to Navajo land, it's 1pm. I keep going east, and it's back to 12pm.
  5. You have a Retarded country in some ways.
  6. That's what I thought, but this tour company doesn't seem to understand that. We've decided to just call ahead the night before and ask "in how many hours?" or something.
  7. OK so what the fuck is the deal with the different time zones between Utah, Arizona, Navajo etc. Seriously, wtf. We have a tour booked that says like "11am (Arizona Time, Pacific Daylight Time)" and then "all our times are quoted in Mountain Standard Time" So I google to check and they are different times. So which is it? MST is clearly different to PDT and yet they're completely ignoring that. Does anyone have a clue what the answer is?
  8. Not 100% set the itinerary, but it largely looks like: Land in Vegas 4-5 days in Zion 1-2 days in Grand Canyon North 3 days in Bryce Canyon 2-3 days in Moab 2-3 days around Page A couple of days in grand canyon south rim and flying home. Trying to finalise the actually day to day itinerary - I hate faffing on the morning trying to decide what we're going to do today.
  9. We fly out two weeks today. Flying in to vegas, and then driving straight out again. Side note - we've booked with Delta, any good? Also a couple of questions: How do ATMs work over there? I have a prepaid travel card but it doesn't have chip and pin, so how can I get cash out, from a bank? Where's a good supermarket to go get fresh food (fruit/veg etc)? 7-11? Walmart? Target? I honestly have no idea. And in that area, what's good and local? Avocados maybe? Again, no idea here.
  10. It'll be around next autumn. Not sure where yet though.
  11. It's definitely on the bucket list for sure. The lady is more of the theme park nut than I, but I still enjoy it. Still, it means she basically picks which we go to (once I remind her the NYC to Cleveland to Washington is not doable). Another friend of ours is moving to Montreal, so might try to combine that.
  12. DC, yep. 8 hour drive, really? I had a quick look at google maps and it said around 3-4 hours? A friend is getting married in DC, so we figured since both of us want to go see new york at some point we'd do both, but if it's going to take forever to get from one to the other maybe not. That being said, there's a strong chance we'll be stopping in NJ to visit a six flags or something.
  13. Well it's all booked. Found some relatively cheap places around, used Hotwire to save some bucks. Also mostly planned for next year to visit NYC/Washington (for a wedding). Also planning another holiday out to Hawaii. Haven't been to the US in over 20 years, now looking to go three times in the space of 12 months.
  14. Any idea how I might find them if they're not on the bigger websites?
  15. Just don't have the time to do everything we want to do, but don't worry, sequoia and the rest are on the list for next time.
