Re: cross country trip, $ for suggestions
Alright, here goes my things.
Dayton - Splash Moraine, by far one of the best waterparks evar. Chicago - I don't know when you're going, but if you are before XMas, definitely go to Michigan Boulevard and/or Navy Pier. If not, still go and visit the amazing streets full of fun stuff to do. Many casino are in the region too - Harrah's, Horseshoe, Mystic, many others within say 30 minutes. Madison - Wisconsin Dells anyone? Themepark capital of the world. Ho Chunk is nearby as well (casino) Minneapolis - There are some great, great golf courses around the Minnesota area if you're interested. Canterbury also nearby (big poker place) Bismarck - Prairie Knights Casino is around Bismarck if I remember correctly, alot of forestry/wildlife too. If you could, make it down to South Dakota and visit Mount Rushmore. Billings - Alot of casinos around this area too. Not sure, but last time I was there (yeah, I've been to Montana too lol) there were like 5 within a 10 mile radius. Seattle - Obviously the Space Needle, the Boeing Plant offers tours, definitely interesting when I was there years ago. No clue about rental cars, the one that comes to mind is Hertz, but I don't know prices or what not. I do alot of traveling too, taken many similar trips like this, always tons of fun. |

Re: cross country trip, $ for suggestions
do not go through fargo bismarck dickinson it is the flattest, no trees, nothing but prairie, worst 6 hour interstate drive possible and nothing fun exists west of fargo or minneapolis this time of year for that matter. I would hit up a little farther south go through south dakota possibly a detour to deadwood and head through yellowstone. Much more scenic with mount rushmore, the badlands, crazy horse, etc. although both lack a lot of fun stuff. Canterbury is a huge poker room in minneapolis like jsmith said however it only runs limit hold em as minnesota law doesnt allow more than 60 dollars to be initially bet on a street IIRC prior to raises

Re: cross country trip, $ for suggestions
Alright, not a problem. Trying to think of things I did when I took my north(west) road trip, but I mostly went through the forests/hiking and golfed where available, which I doubt you prefer to do heh

Re: cross country trip, $ for suggestions
renting a car..
national rent a car is the cheapest.. u can pick up from charleston and drop off in seattle.. its about 500$ depending on how long drive is.. its like 515 for 7 days.. so i bet it'll be less.. maybe more.. but within that range.. thats for like a Pontiac G6 car.. looking up things to do.. but this is the best car rental place |

Re: cross country trip, $ for suggestions
This is from my seventh ever post on 2+2, and it still applies here.
[ QUOTE ] I've taken some pretty awful road trips before, usually due to lack of preparation. I'm on the east coast, so I'm not sure about specifics of where to stop, but I can give you pretty decent supplies checklist. For a road trip of this magnitude you will need the following: 2 cartons of cigarettes 1 large picnic cooler 1 bag of ice 2 cases beer (domestic, cans) 2 4-packs Red Bull 1 package condoms (optional) 1 functional radar detector 3 bags chips (doritos, fritos) 2 lighters (one backup) 1 portable dvd player 1 cigarette-lighter-adaptor cell phone charger 1 large bottle advil 1 large bottle pepcid complete [/ QUOTE ] |
