A family-friendly adventure, featuring remarkable natural beauty and culturally-rich experiences on a truly epic scale.
The United Sates of America is vast –
there is simply no other word to describe it. It is one of the richest, most
powerful countries on earth and a melting pot of different cultures and
traditions.
From the iconic yellow cabs to Mickey
Mouse, hamburgers to Baywatch, American culture has percolated into the homes
of millions of people around the world making the country familiar even to
those who have never been there.
With its vast size comes an
incredibly diverse landscape. With 50 states and flanked by two oceans, America
has everything from bustling New York and the Statue of
Liberty to the vastness of the Great Plains; from tropical Orlando
and Miami to snowy Alaska. Just a few hours can take you
from one landscape into something completely different.
Whether you head east to explore Boston and New York, west for Los
Angeles and San Francisco or south for Florida
and all the trappings of Disney, you will be spoilt for choice for places to
visit and sights to see.
America has probably become more
known for its attractions than anything else. Its name is synonymous with the
Grand Canyon, the Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood, Disneyland, the Great Lakes,
Washington, and the Rocky Mountains and of course that glittering light oasis
in the Nevada desert – Las Vegas.
If you are looking for a destination
that can offer history, culture, beaches, glamour, natural beauty and great
food then America is the place for you. No matter how many times you visit,
there will always be something and somewhere new to explore.
The currency in America is the US
Dollar. Hotels don’t exchange foreign currency and few banks will so it’s best
to either arrive with dollars or exchange your currency at the airport upon
arrival.
All major credit cards are accepted.
You are advised to carry at least one of the major credit cards as it is common
to request prepayment or a credit card imprint for hotel rooms and car hire
even if the final payment isn’t made by credit card.
