That’s a load of horseshit. Have you been everywhere?
Didn’t think so.
There are plenty of countries I’d rather go to.
It’s a beautiful country alright, but if you’re blind to the damage that has been done in 400 years, I can’t help you.

People destroy most countries. The US looks after it’s natural beauty better than most. It’s National Park system is excellent. It’s a gorgeous country

100%. The National Park system is amazing.

Sounds amazing. Gone too old to drive through the US myself but I would have loved to do that.

The junior Boxtys did Chicago - San Fran through Vegas a month ago along the coastal route you’re headed to. Epic stuff, incredible scenes.
Enjoy it, you’ve earned a nice break for yourself. Drive on the right - Yeah!

I’ve been to them. South Africa is nicer in my honest opinion, and, as an entity, Europe is too. Canada is less ruined and just feels nicer. America is God’s own country, but my word in 400 years they’ve done their best to spoil it.

Could you put a little meat on this bone for me. They’ve had to have cities to house folk and build roads to move freight etc but those aside I’d welcome your views on how they’ve spoiled it.

Some of those cities are magnificent into the bargain.

Urban sprawl, pollution, LA is a dump, Vegas is a good laugh, but a blight on the landscape. Florida is an urban sprawl. The vast majority of America is empty.
The only reason swathes of America remain beautiful is because it is so vast.

Just bumping the actual question here guys

That’s gas coming from the lad living in Manchester and dreaming of coming home to Galway and building another bungalow on the Clifden Road.

Wrong on many counts there.

Pay for the CDW insurance. You will have much more peace of mind.

You can buy a worldwide policy for car rental much cheaper as long as your credit card can take the excess until they pay you back.

Credit card is taking a hit already on this trip

The global car rental excess policy can be got for about 50 notes usually. It’s way cheaper than buying of the rental company. I can find you a link if you like?

This sort of thing.
There’s loads if you Google. Just check the details.

Los Angeles is the biggest dump of a city ive been to, closely followed by Dublin.
