Travel from Newark, NJ Niagara Falls via Orlando

Finally the day came and it was time to leave for a month trip to Gatwick airport for our long journey to the United States. We had booked an overnight stay in a hotel at the airport, so we cool for our trip the next day. Let me stress that this trip was 9-11.

Our flight was on a flight to Newark, New Jersey with Virgin Atlantic and a return flight from Orlando with Virgin too. We booked car into two parts, both with Alamo. Why rent a car is moreDear New York, the first leg would be for 7 days and then we return the vehicle Orlando and take a different hotel for the rest of the trip.

Our route was planned for the night landing at Newark in a Holiday Inn near the airport. Then head for the next day in Niagara, where we spent two nights, then travel to Florida, two nights on the road.

We left on time from Gatwick Airport for nearly seven hours of flight. Although we wereTravelers in Florida, we never had a regular and was in New York before, as if our time is a bit 'limited, had planned to travel to visit the city over the water on this issue. We arrived in the afternoon after flying very low along the Hudson River offers a beautiful view of the skyline of New York, on a line of Newark. The airport itself had undergone some major changes and was to be a bit 'confused, honestly. We finally cleared immigration and collected our luggageand from that time, the Alamo car rental at the airport, we are waiting for a bus that was to take us there. In fact, where we waited, we could see the deposit rent outside the airport across the street. The bus came and took us to the warehouse. We had booked one-way rentals and we knew we had to pay a drop-off fee of $ 300. The employee had tried us in the restoration, although we had booked a minivan with seven seats for the four of us talking and all of our pre-paid fees and insurance. We payThe proportion of drop-offs and airport collection fee (which they pay us), gave us the keys and told us where he was administered the vehicle. Imagine our surprise when we found the vehicle was in fact an 8-seat minivan GMC, it seems that he wanted to pay for the upgrade and even better, it was Florida plates! At that time we were trying to leave, in so that it does not have too many problems to us. We drove to our hotel and after a short ride to the Holiday Inn has been found.We checked in and went to our rooms to freshen up a bit 'before our dinner. We decided to stay at the hotel to eat and drink a bit 'before going for the night.

The next morning, with our body clocks still time British, there could be up to 5 clock, fresh and ready for your trip to Niagara. We start at 5:30 clock and we decided to have breakfast on the road. After a while 'a nightmare trying to get the highway, we finally left the area of Newark. Daylight wasCome and have found a Perkins, breakfast on the go. The rest of the trip was fairly uneventful and we noticed how similar the landscape, where we lived in the UK. When approached Niagara Falls, probably about 30 minutes away, I saw what I thought was steam from a cooling tower was in the distance. It turned out that fall.

We decided on the Canadian side of the waterfalls and had booked two nights at the Sheraton. Once we had arrived at the borderto go through customs and immigration authorities, we had no problems and have been for about 15 minutes. It 'was when we covered the face of it, the bridge, that magnificent spectacle and lost. I can only say that the photos do not do justice. We drove to our hotel and then checked to discover the set Niagara. We decided to walk down, and it only took about 5-10 minutes. The first striking thing I could think was that salt spray so high, in fact, the followingTomorrow, when we, the hotel I thought it was raining on the left, you know the type of fine drizzle, but it was actually the spray of waterfalls. The wind was blowing in the direction of our hotel. We have all the usual tourist things, went to where the river are the vertebrae. I was surprised to see so many people there armish not know if it's a holiday for them or what, but it was definitely a lot. We would like to see more of later travel across Pennsylvania. We"Maid of the" Mist, men, and it was spectacular. We left the boat in the direction of Horseshoe Falls, as soon as the boat closest to you hear the engine speed, as the captain Increased powers to obtain that in the area, the only thing you describe is something like the Arctic It 'was only known throughout the world, and will be a white spray. Even with waterproof poncho is still located in the water somewhere. The unit finished, go back to the pier and take the elevatorback again to the main road. We also have a tour that takes you behind the waterfall. We found the Canadian people were fantastic and we felt good value for money. We never had, our money, how could all be paid in U.S. dollars. One thing to remember is that once again the application of GST sales tax for purchases in Canada. It is limited to certain things, so check what you need for action. Our second day we went to Niagara on the Lake, anice place with some beautiful scenery. It is a jet boat you on a ride that looked fun can go here. On a clear day you can the CN Tower in Toronto to see in the distance. That night we crossed to the U.S. side to Outlet Mall, where we have some great opportunities to visit.

The next day we checked in our hotel and began the trip to Florida. We made a little bet to see who the first man, a wild palm tree was the first place, but it would be a day or two awayyet. We are back in the U.S. and towards Buffalo, where we have the Interstate. After New York state next we entered, was in Pennsylvania, and we went to Harrisburg and the next state of Maryland, where our first night spent. We stayed in a motel and were surprised by the difference between here and elsewhere who stayed at. It 'was a Sunday and the hotel bar closed at 22.30 clock. It seemed that her more religious than some other places that has been suspended.

HoweverThe next day we were off to start and I must say that the landscape in Pennsylvania and Maryland was becoming so much better and had passed the towns with their picturesque churches and church towers of the PA very picturesque in autumn colors of the leaves. And 'our intention to lower the Blue Ridge Parkway and through Shenandoah National Park for part of the trip, so we head toward Front Royal Park and in no time you enter. As you enter and pay a small fee, we see a deerCross the road ahead. We thought this was a taste of things to come, but believe it or not, that was the only one we've seen! The speed limit on winding roads is only about 20 miles an hour so that the journey may take some time. Again and again there are overlooks where you can stop and some photos. This area is in the history of civil war and there were many plaques, the memory of the lives of soldiers North and South lost. looking for a large part of the landscape that have not changedthat over the years and you can imagine what it means when you look at the battlefield was down. because you can see, is how the name Blue Ridge on it a blue tinge on the hills in the distance and this will be put through the plant came the "blue" in Blue Ridge, from which isoprene released into the atmosphere, then the characteristic odor mountains and their characteristic color. There is information stations along the route and places to buy refreshments. UsTravel along the route for about three hours and then left the highway and our next stop in Roanoke, Charlotte and South Carolina, where the connection to a Howard Johnson spent the night. The girl at the reception is the southern drawl we have found so beautiful. Princess Diana was killed not long before we noticed how the UK has been very difficult, their suffering, which we thought was expressed very nice.

The next day we decided to get to Jacksonvillefor our last night in Florida to stop and visit some friends. We left early and the motorway south to Charleston, where we traveled member of the I-95. This Interstate runs from northern Maine to Miami, Florida. We went through Savannah and it was here that I won $ 10 for the detection of a wild palm! Soon we were entering Jacksonville, Florida and was in sight. When we arrived, we chose a hotel on the beach and checkedOthers It used to be afternoon and we went to meet our friends. We met and we are back to their house for a bit 'and to meet later in Mandarin Ale House for a meal later. After a great evening we returned to our hotel, we arranged to go to St. Augustine the next day. This was a great day of St. Augustine is said to be the oldest city in the USA and is steeped in history with a Spanish flavor. We looked at the Fort and some shops. Later that afternoon we were Orlando will. We have adopted and brought us from the land of the mouse.

The temperature was always much warmer and we had turned into shorts SC to Orlando, but as we faced was very warm. When we arrived, we decided to get the car fixed and Florida during the trip had been needling away from us that we had paid $ 300 for the privilege of returning a rental car Florida! So when we went to rent> Orlando complained to the clerk, went to speak with a supervisor and came back to tell us that the refund is $ 300 and gave us a new 7-seater Dodge Grand Caravan. So that was a good result.

We had pre-booked accommodation and Orlando during our stay, we have theme parks and all the other things that make the tourists. We also set for a few days in Fort Myers, this has always been a favorite of us. We stayed at the Pointe Estero condo right onBeach. I can heartily recommend a trip like this and look forward to doing it again. They may be much more of the country in this way.
