Hi Again If you do decide to drive in US also be aware that the speed limit is a bit higher on expressways and if you are not a good driver (be realistic with your driving skills and navigation) you might find it a bit fast for you. Also with hiring a car be aware that your travel...

Hi there!! I would suggest if you going to be doing a lot of flights it economy it may be worth your while to join the Frequent Flyer Club that your flights mainly consist of. This way you will be able to relax in a 'nice' area of the airport, have a shower, clean toilet facilities and nice...
