How do you prepare for a trip to America? Buy a ticket and go? Think again. Our journey to America/Canada was not as easy as you think and required several bookings, visas, flights and Airbnb's. Whilst everyone assured me I would have an amazing time on my travels to America, no-one warned me of the extensive planning a trip to New York over New Year would be, or how many airports there are in the state. If you're planning a trip to different destinations within the USA and Canada then read on for our timeline of how we prepared for our break to New York and Toronto.
When I visited New York it wasn’t my first time in the city that never sleeps, I had previously visited on a school trip when I was 15, but visiting at my own leisure I had no idea how to even beginning planning such an immense trip. Whilst I knew what kind of things I would like to go and see, I didn’t know which attractions were close to each other, where I would eat and in what order was best to visit. This is where the UGotIt came in.
