Re: Driving across America?
I'm in the uk and want to do a road trip around the U.S. iwe want to take our time up to a year maybe. we want to buy a R.V. and sell it when we finish, the stumbling block seems to be getting a visa long enough to do it . Any ideas anyone

Your real stumbling block is buying, registering and insurning a motor without a US fixed abode and rentals aren't cheap.

Getting the visa isn't easy if you could ordinarily use the VWP though, especially if your not in retirement age.

Re: Driving across America?
I’m thinking that driving across the US could be a good way to see a lot of it for my holiday next year (3 weeks). I live in Boston, I’m thinking of driving in a hire car to the west coast and flying back.
Has anyone on here driven across the US, if so do you have any tips or advice?

Re: Driving across America?
That can definitely be fun! A girlfriend and I went on a 10 day vacation once. Aside from deciding on a roadtrip we didn't have any definite plans. We ended up driving south through Kentucky, on to Nashville, on to Memphis. After a couple of days there we thought - hmmm ... never been to Arkansas, and we're so close! We ended up driving down to Hot Springs, AK through Little Rock before turning back, and visited Mammoth Caves in KY on the way back north. It was a great trip, and very loosely planned.
