Preparations for the Trip
After comparing prices and schedules of many flights and airlines on the internet,
I booked the flight from Arlanda Airport in Stockholm to JFK in New York City through a
travel agent in Stockholm.
I discovered that there were flights available between cities within the United States
with prepaid coupons purchased in Sweden that had few restrictions.
Using these coupons I had to decide the cities I would visit and the order that I would
visit them before the trip started.
Travel within the USA included:
New York to Tampa Florida. (By auto from Florida through Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana to Texas)
Flight from Dallas to Los Angeles
Then to San Francisco, Salt Lake City and Washington, D.C.
From Washington D.C. via Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New York to Connecticut.
In New Haven, Liz would meet me and the plan was to use her home in Connecticut
as a base of travel for touring the New England States and a visit to New York City.
After a month in the United States, I would return to Stockholm from NYC.
The tickets were booked..
The cities were decided upon...
Now it only remained to find suitable accomodations.
On the internet I found these in Bed and Breakfasts. Most of these were in private homes.
