It's summer holiday season
Anyone going on holiday during the summer? Overseas? Britain?
I'm off to Amsterdam on Monday, and then New York in August. It'll be my first time in America so if anyone has any tips, please share =)

Re: It's summer holiday season
Going down to Cornwall soon for a couple of weeks. Sennen near Lands end. Stay with my mother in a 16th century granite cottage. 100yards from the "First and Last" pub.
Watch those dollar bills, they're all the same colour and design whatever the denomination.

Re: It's summer holiday season
You'll be the one sharing the tips  Americans expect it for everything.
Have a look at -
http://www.bigapplegreeter.org/ - volunteer guides to get the real NY
http://nycgo.com/ - NY tourist info
If you are booking flight & hotel independently, use Supershuttle to get from airport to hotel. Much better than trying to drive.

Re: It's summer holiday season
Went to Thailand last month for 3 weeks. Caught the Swine flu on the plane home.
Staying with my parents in Cornwall next week and also another week in August.
Remember you have to register online before you fly to the states these days.

Going to Florida for 2 weeks in Sept.
Remember to work the price of things out once you include sales tax in America.

Re: It's summer holiday season
Not booked anything yet, but a week in the sun is in the pipeline
Where are the staying in Amsterdam? Been before? I've been about 10 times, love it there! I'd live there if the cost of living wasn't so expensive.

Re: It's summer holiday season
Went to NY about 2 yrs ago.
Do the free Staten Island ferry for a good view of the Statue of Liberty.
Go up Empire State. Probably worth pre-booking.
Pay for the open top bus. Good for the tour, plus you can hop on/off at the sights.

Visit The Empire State Building, The Statue of Liberty.
A must should be Ground Zero, I have had some friens go there and they said it was a awesome, but powerful place.
Becareful when ordering food, for example in MacDonalds, there small is our medium.
When we went to Florida we asked for a large coke, three adults just about drank it.

Lucky for me I may have to visit Iceland for work the week after getting back from holiday - which could involve driving a few hundred Km, so I should see a good deal of the scenery
