Re WhereAreWe's advance purchase prices: They don't have some low cost carriers like Southwest in the calculation since their schedules/fares aren't published this far out.

Maybe sign up for Jet Blue's specials on internal flights. I've picked up lots of bargains for our trip that way. Orlando- Washington $80, Washington- Boston $50

I think Ariana is a "one hit wonder". She joined Fodors in November and this was her only post. I think we are only talking to ourselves.

She joined and posted 1.5 days ago. Not unusual for someone new to post and not check back for a few days, especially for a trip
10 months from now.

I agree with Stu that she should look at the 4 days in New Orleans. While you certainly could find plenty to do, it seems a slightly unusual choice for someone coming all the way from Argentina and seeing 4 US cities.

Keep in mind that the US is a very large country, just like Argentina. To give you perspective, your trip will be somewhat like flying from BA to Mendoza then down to Bariloche to Ushuaia. From one end of the country to the other. You need to plan carefully to use your time and money wisely.

"sf7307 on Nov 27, 12 at 06:14 PM Ariana, while it may be possible to do a 1-day tour of Las Vegas from Los Angeles (because there's not that much to see in Las Vegas)"

You've gots that right buddy! I can never understand people's fascination with the place. I dont get why tourists just love to stare at fake NYC, Venice, Eiffel Tower, Italian statues, some water squirting high up synched to loud music, overpriced food, drunk college kids,
girls with tops almost down, Mexicans handing out sex invites,
it's hot, dusty, noisy,

oh, and ifcourse it's a wonderful place for seniors to lose their pension, or the working stiff their tax refund.

Actually, while Argentina is a large country it is only about 1/3 the size of the US.

I still think Ariana is a "one hit wonder" and has gone elsewhere.
