Hey guys thanks for all the information and websites, it will come in handy 2 months from now. Air BnB looks pretty good from what I saw and also couch surfing looks good as well "particpating in making the world a better place one couch at a time" lol, but not sure I will do the couchsurfing thing, I wouldn't like to wake up on a couch duck taped with some psycho killer singing kumba as he cuts some watermelon up whilst staring at me(Wtf is he going to do with the watermelon) haha.
My friend also got back to me and said that houston and queens and were good places to stay so I may visit them as well.
I may also do what you said Iqqi and leave cali out and change to another state like miami so that I don't have to fly all the way from the east to the west. I was also thinking of getting a car to rent, in the U.k I have a driving license, but no car and insurance as of yet. Would I be still be able to rent in the US?
