Wanted: American Advice!

nzmuse usa road trip route

This time, three weeks from now, we’ll be in the USA. We land in New York on the 22nd. All I have to say about that is JEEPERS. I’m really excited, and I hope this road trip is going to be epic.

Questions! So many questions!

We won’t be visiting Philly. Where else can we try good cheese steak? NY? DC?

Should we buy a cheap GPS? Presumably this is cheaper and more reliable/convenient than phone + Google Maps?

Where would one shop for reasonably priced clothing for larger guys? (I’ve been told Marshall’s, Ross, TJ Maxx…) Doesn’t have to be fancy. Does it make a difference shopping in, say, major cities vs smaller towns, or the coasts vs midwest?

T wants to visit a place he heard about once, but can’t remember what it’s called or where. Apparently it’s a giant house – i.e. a normal house, but built on a large scale, with everything inside also on a large scale. Like the opposite of a dollhouse, I guess. And it’s near a Legoland, supposedly. That’s all I got to go on. Anybody?

Also, because it’s the internet, it somehow feels okay to unashamedly put out an open call for budget accommodation advice or offers (if you might have a couch we can crash on, we promise good conversation, compliments aplenty for your city, and cooking – his, not mine – if you so desire!) in a few areas:

  • Washington DC
  • Boston
  • Montreal
  • Toronto
  • Somewhere between Chicago and New Orleans (Missouri? Tennessee? Mississippi?)
  • Somewhere in Texas? (We’ll be driving through from New Orleans enroute to the Grand Canyon/Las Vegas)

Thanking you in advance for your comments, my lovelies.
