To work ? Or holiday? Im sure to enter the states you get a silly wee holiday visa thing on the plane before you land..If its to stay a long time I would look into it.
I stayed in a place called South Seas Plantation, was stunning..but was a long long time agoo

Just for a holiday, I was sure there was some new visa thing in you had to obtain from the british embasy to get allowed into the US

Ive been 3 times though not since the early 90's!

I booked mine a few weeks back and nothing was mentioned of the Visa colin, I have heard somewhere what your saying though. 4x4s are expensive to hire like, I was going to get the small one but they rang me up and said I couldnt have it being under 25

But they offered me a soft top chrysler sebring for the same price.

Someone told me you need to go to the British Embasy in London to sort a Visa for entry..........not sure if its pish though!

I can get one of these : Chevrolet Equinox

£260 for 2 weeks all in!

Or a GMC Envoy for a little more!

I highly doubt you have to go to London so its most probably bullshit. It was almost double that for me because of my age

Same as the one I was going to get too.

You fill in a green card on the plane and then hand it in on entry IIRC.

Go to Embasy in London

Went last year and they give out the visa forms on the plane - had to hand em in when u landed - they finger printed everyone and took a photo of everyone. They were quite fussy about how the form was filled in - made loads of pple do it again.

But once your in its awesome over there. gf and i hired a mustang convertable - a lot of fun gettin around.

We spent a week in orlando then spent a week in miami!

I thought it was bullshit, best to check before booking right enough.

What company did you book the mustang with?

Been going for the past few years, and parents are going this year again.

You just fill in a few forms on the plane before you land, you wait in immigration when you land, they check the forms, take photo's and finger prints etc, then collect your bags..

We did at sanford anyways..

The place we usually hire from is Dollar, mainly Dodge, but last time they had a few Chryslers and mustangs..

Went last year - did exactly that. Week in Orlando and a week in Miami, you don't need a Visa.

Think the visa thing for holidays is for people who have had a criminal record. My cousin had to go to the British Embassy in London in person to be interviewed.

I dont want to trawl round parks for longer than a week really. 4 or 5 theme parks over the 1st week then a week on the coast would be fine.

Ive just been speaking to my parents we went 4 times in the 90's.

2 weeks in Orlando
1 week Orlando 1 week Keys
1 week Orlando 1 week St Pete's
1 week Orlando 1 week Clearwater 1 week Bahama's.

Theme parks get too much after a few days on the trot!!
