Thanks for the tips guys! All useful. I'll be sure to take advantage of the free wifi especially to use assisted gps on my phone and be sure to look the correct direction before crossing the street hehe

From the sounds of it, TF shopping in the States isn't all that exciting? But I am sure I would still be fascinated by Walmart. I've heard everything is bigger in the States including the shops.

What are the speed limits like? Are there any "weird" road rules/signages that I should be aware of?

The locations you guys mentioned sound great. What about drives that go through "foresty" areas?

I always been keen to experience hanging out with the locals. What would be the best way to do that for a lone traveller?

Robzy, when you travelled by yourself, how did you find the experience in general? Like, did you still go out to restaurants by yourself etc?
