Hi Guys,
We are planning a 5 week trip to the US in Oct/Nov (our first trip to the US) ? we are about to book our accommodation and rather than just take the advice of our travel agent I was hoping to get some advice/suggestions from anyone that might live locally or have any recommendations from their own experiences.
We are happy paying up to $200 per night which we would hope would give us somewhere fairly nice in most places.
At this stage our plans are:
3 nights in LA ? Thu 6 Oct to Sat 8 Oct
We will probably do the usual Disney Land and Universal Studios thing ? is it better to stay somewhere near Anaheim or would be better off staying in central LA ? any suggestions on where to stay ??
4 nights in San Diego ? Sun 9 Oct to Wed 12 Oct
We were considering The Dana on Mission Bay ? have heard that one part of the resort is really nice and one part is absolute crap ? anyone stayed there or have any other suggestions on where to stay ??
We will have a rental car in San Diego so staying somewhere really central may not be important.
7 nights in Las Vegas ? Fri 14 Oct to Thu 20 Oct
We are really keen on Aladdin and have only ever heard good things from people that have stayed there ? any reason not to stay there ??
4 nights in Orlando ? Fri 21 Oct to Mon 24 Oct
We are planning a few days at Disney World so figured it might be easier for us to stay at Disney Resort ? good or bad idea ??
1 night in Fort Lauderdale ? Tue 25 Oct
Open to any suggestions ? only going here as the cruise we have booked leaves out of Fort Lauderdale ? so probably somewhere close to the port would be good.
2 nights in Miami ? Sat 5 Nov and Sun 6 Nov
Open to any suggestions here as well ? haven?t had a decent look at what there is to do in Miami yet.
Other thing we would love to do is catch an NFL game while we are in the US ? still waiting for the full NFL schedule to come out but hoping we might be in the right place at the right time to catch a San Diego or Tampa Bay or Miami game. How easy or hard is it to get hold of tickets for these games ??
Thanks in advance for any comments.
