Curious Problem

[VetteG]

A long story but I have £800 of credit with Delta Airways which I must use by 12 Sept, the tickets have to be in my name. I'm free to travel over the rest of this month, trouble is I cant think of a reason to fly to the States. I have lived/worked there in the past so Miami etc. does little for me. So any suggestions please;

Can you code share with another carrier, even though it would be badged as a Delta flight?

Not too sure which programme they belong to.

[istoo]

Hawaii? Or any of the American pacific islands take you fancy?

You could always get a flight into New york and drive route 66 all the way to Los Angels and then fly back from there?

Maybe fly into Seattle and make a route through the mountains to California.

Sounds doable, but I would need a car I will need to think on that.

Why not go somewhere like Alaska instead of more regular US destinations.

Or a week in vegas

Trip to view a NASCAR/INDY race someehere just for the atmosphere.

Yup I've already checked out the Indycar schedule, seen a few in the past, fabulous!

Sorry, I wasn't being cheeky/flippant, I just mean having the flight credit available and the time off available would be reason enough to go in it's own.

Go to Vegas, or try to catch some car racing over there.

You could always go and visit my sister in Detroit

Routes 101 and 99 are great fun

Even in my battered Ford Taurus I had a great time chucking it through the twisties and annoying Harley riders

Can you pick me up a Cervini bonnet if you do go to the states Mineral Grey if you can

[Allandwf]

With an empty suitcase and homeward with it full of Stingray bits and bobs ?

[OlberJ]

Go and take in Disney World, Busch Gardens etc if you've never done it. Definitely worth going once in your life, no matter how young you are.

Over to San Fran for 4 nights (possibly a stop over in New York) hire a car on your last day in SF (no need for a car in the city and parking is expensive) drive over to Yosemite spend a few nights there then drive via Bodie (ghost town) to Death Valley (a night in Furnace creek - great Steaks and Feezing cold bud) then finish the trip off in Vegas!

Sounds fantastic, esp the ending

DAft thing is, some friends in a Corvette Club in Houston asked me to join them in May for their annual pilgrimage to Bowling Green for the American National Corvette meet. A thousand mile convoy of vette's with up to 800hp, lots of beer, drag racing, etc, etc, and I didnt have the time then!
Waiting to find out if Mrs G can get a Friday and Monday off and have another long weekend in NY! More shopping!
