the plan

So, the first of April we three guys are going to travel to USA and do a road trip through the whole country. From Los Angeles in the west to Miami and New York in the east. 


In Los Angeles we are going to rent a housecar from a Swedish webpage that we found, they charge us 2581 dollars for the entire month of April. We can drop it off at Miami and then rent a boat in Miami and go by boat all the way to New York. We planned to stop at several cities along the way as we travel through the states towards Florida and Miami. We are gonna visit Las Vegas in Nevada, then drive through Arizona to Albuquerque in New Mexico, followed up by Dallas and Houston in Texas. In the state of Mississippi we don't have anything more planned than stop by at the mighty Mississippi-river. We thought about taking a day or two in the city of New Orleans in Louisiana then drive through Alabama towards our final "car-destination", Miami. 


We don't really need to make any Hotel-reservations since we are going to travel in a housecar. About food we are not going to take anything with us apart from something we may want the first few days and the rest of the trip we are going to buy our food at either supermarkets or at different restaurants along the road. We are thinking that a resonable budget for each person as "foodmoney" will be about 1600 USD which is about 10000 SKR. In pocket money we are thinking that we all bring as much as we think we will spend individually buy maybe about 1000 USD. 


Gasoline is another thing that costs money and since we will be driving quite a heavy car we think that we should bring quite alot of money to buy gasoline with. The average gasolineprice in USA is about 3.5 USD / gallon and 1 gallon is about 3.8 litres, if you compare the price in USA to óur price in Sweden the gasoline actually is a bit lower in USA than here in Sweden. So maybe 2000-2500 USD on gas is a resonably budget. 


Since the states we are going to visit usually are quite warm and not very cold we won't bring any winter clothes but more summer stuff, especially bathing shorts (!) and of course a camera so we can upload pictures of us during the trip.


To sum our budget up we are going to spend about 5000 USD each which is about 33000 SKR.
