Without coming across as an askhole, I think I’d shoot myself if I visited the USA without going to New York and now we’re flying into LA and out of SF.
How does this sound?
Fly into LA - arrive at 12:45pm
Day 1 afternoon is written off with jetlag. Maybe visit a cool craft beer bar or something.
Day 2 kick around LA.
Day 3 Disneyland (my partner insists).
Day 4 Bus to Vegas, night out there
Day 5 Grand Canyon/Route 66 bus Trip, Vegas at night
Day 6 Fly to NY - See City Lights/Times Sq
Day 7 NY - Manhattan
Day 8 NY - Brooklyn
Day 9 NY - Staten Island/Statue of Liberty
Day 10 - Fly NY to Portland. Night out there
Day 11 - Portland
Day 12- Portland to SF. Night out there
Day 13 - SF - GG Bridge, Alcatraz, The Mission
Day 14 SF - Fly out at 9:45PM
Maybe skip Portland? I’m not sure. Also, how do you get from Portland to SF? I’d love to visit Rogue or Sierra Nevada Breweries while I’m there, but not sure of buses or how much a hire car would cost. I’ve driven RHD in crazy Switzerland roads, so I know I can do it. Will I need a special license?
