I have just booked my summer holidays and it is going to be an adventure!!
I'm flying to New York for 3 nights by myself. I have flown alone before so the travelling part doesn't phase me, however I have 2 days to explore the city by myself. I'm a fairly independent so in that sense I'll be fine, but I don't want to be alone. A friend of mine has suggested finding a small city tour on my first day and use it as a chance to get talking to people. I'm sure there'll also be people in the hostel for me to talk to.
From NYC I'm flying to Orlando, where my family are having their summer holiday. I'm staying there for 5 nights, during which I wouldn't mind just relaxing and going with the flow. I've done Florida I couple of times already, been to the theme parks and everything, but I'm sure I'll still take a trip to one during the time I'm there.
From Orlando I'm flying to Vegas where I'll meet up with two of my friends who are currently living in the US. We have 3 nights in Vegas which I imagine will be crazy! I actually have a feeling I'll get married in Vegas. Have no idea who to, but you can't go to Vegas and not get married? It'd be rude not to!
From Vegas I will then go to Chicago for 4 nights. That's where one of my friends lives and I actually went a couple of years ago. I did pretty much all the main attractions so there isn't anything that comes to mind for me to do, but even just hanging out with my friend who I haven't seen for a year will be decent.
If anyone has any ideas/suggestions on how to get the most out of this trip, let me know.
