Hello ... and welcome back from Christmas holidays!
Happy 2011 ... it's a year full of viaggilowcost!
I have just returned from a beautiful Stroll on the road to the dusty roads of California, with a pair of raids in Arizona and Nevada.
All in less than 10 days, and spending a total of 1350 euro, including flight.
How did I do? Simple!
I booked the flight on a rainy October afternoon, paying only 660 euro (British Airways) , with a stopover in London. I move car (a gallon, which are four and a half liters, costs $ 3!) And I've been in motels along the state American. Clean, spartan and with excellent localetti to eat cheaply, those in which they stop the famous Trucks, to understand! And I
ground many miles, but without making a tour de force.
to follow my program, so if you want to plan a trip to California, without making you miss the Grand Canyon and Death Valley, meanwhile, have a "canvas"
:-) Ah, a 'last thing. The time was perfect dry season, plenty of sunshine, acceptable temperatures (12/14 degrees on average), ability to walk down the death valley (not summer), a little mist ... and then good visibility, especially in Grand Canyon!
