Hey all. I'm not sure where to put this question, so sorry if its in the wrong spot.
Me and a mate really want to see the US in June/July this year. We have budgets of about $6000 AUD.
We have sort of figured that it would be about $2000 to fly return to New York. From there we are not sure whether to do a contiki tour from there all across towards the west to LA, or take the back paking option.
THe Grand Northern Contiki is $3600, so that option is pretty much out of the question.
Is it cheaper to back pack, stay in hostels and spend a week in NY, then fly to LA for a week and see Vegas and San Francisco? How much are hostels generally per night in the states, and how much should i allow for food, drinks, extra activities e.g. admission prices per day?
We want to see NY, LA, Vegas, San Fran and possibly Hawaii, but i think internal US flights are fairly expensive and it might blow our budget. Is there a safety issue with back packing through the states?
Thanks for any help you can supply!
