T mobile network sucks big time especially if you travelling out of town area.
AT&T is still the best.

When was the last time you all used the network? and which states specifically?

A current T-mobile and ATT subscriber. My nature of work lets me travel a bit in USA. East coast, west coast, mid west etc.

Then network coverage changes depending of time of day.
In general T-Mobile not great, good and cheap hardly come hand in hand

Can take TRS bus shuttle. But a day trip is hardly enough. Now there is not snow so can drive in. lodging needs to book up to 1 year in advance but you can book outside the valley like Tanaya lodge or somewhere cheaper.

you planning lower or upper antelope? There's a Ken's tour for the lower. usd33 imho your just paying to enter AC. Once your in, your camera keep snapping away

rent a car, it saves you plenty of hassle. even in yosemite, the car lets you go plenty of locations without much delay

hi guys!
I intend to visit disneyland california and adventure park and wants to get the 2 days park hopper pass for me and family.
How best do i get it? Buy online from Parksavers.com or get it straight from the ticket booth on the day itself? I am afraid of the long que at the ticket booth.
Will the tickets to the parks sold out for the day ?

Yep, they might well sell out, especially if you're going on a weekend or a public holiday. You're best to go on a Tuesday or Thursday (assuming they're not public holidays and not during school holidays); those are going to be the quietest days. Basically: if the tickets are cheap that day, it's going to be quiet. Disney's very good at price discrimination.

I did Disney earlier this year—one day, both parks—and pre-booked the tickets on the Disneyland website. Pro tip: if you want to see the World of Color show after dark in California Adventure (trust me, you want to see it!), book the dessert package; it's the only way to get allocated seating for the show.

Thanks for the tip.
I am going 31st May and 1 June..so should be fine i guess.
I tried to buy the tickets on disneyland.com but was declined payment. I guess they block non-US credit cards?

Hi all,
I’m on the beginning phase of planning an US trip with my hb. This would be the first time I’m travelling so far and I’m kinda lost as in where should I start from and whether my intended plan is feasible.

My intended travelling date will be in Feb 2018, approx. 21 days trip including flight time.

Intended states to visit will be New York -> self-drive to Orlando -> domestic flight to Las Vegas -> back to SG.

Is it possible to drive from New York to Orlando? As per map it will be approx. 16 hrs journeys to drive, sounds a bit crazy but I really want to experience a self-drive trip in the US. Also from the map, the journey seem would be passing by places such as Philadelphia, Washington and etc… intend to stop over these places for 1-2 night each to rest and at the same time touring. Most importantly, if this route is workable, will I be able to rent a car starting from NYC and then return it at Orlando?

I’m more interested in sight-seeing the natural, theme parks (that’s why Orlando), shopping, food...

Basically, need advises on whether my intended plan is feasible, anything that I’ll need to take note on, any great website to do my tour research and etc..

Thank you.
