Hi Guys, We arrived at the USA's capital Washington D.C on the 13th of June. Our hotel (Club Quarters) was located in the business district and was an ideal base as it was only a couple of 100 metres from the White House and all the other main attractions. During our stay we visited all the main attractions including the obvious White House which was a great deal smaller then expected. The White House was very easy to find as the road leading to it was blocked o...

Hi Everyone, We arrived in Atlantic City on the 9th of June after a short train journey from Philadelphia. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our hotel (the Sheraton) was directly across the road from the New Jersey transit train station so luckily we didn't have to take any other transport.

Hey everyone, we arrived in beautiful Philadelphia on the 6/6/08 and was pleasently surprised. We arrived at Union Station after another gruelling train journey which we had split into 2 seperate days, we firstly travelled 7 hours to Syracuse (which was a scary place and would not recommend going) were we stayed overnight, the following day we had another 7 hours journey to New York before a final 2 hour journey to Philadelphia. It was not as bad as it seemed and...

Hi Everyone, Arrived in New York safe and sound on the 26th of May. We got a shuttle bus from the airport to our hotel which was much cheaper than a taxi so it was a good start on our budget ha. We stayed in a hotel which was located just off Broadway on the west side of Manhattan, this was a great location for getting around on the cheap subway (2$ fare). We were in NY for 5 days and easily settled into the diverse NY lifestyle, including yummy bagels for break...
