QUEENSPOCK Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 hey folks in like 2 weeks i am going to America. It is my first time over there. I am going to New York and Washington. I was just wondering if there is any like good shops anyone could recommend in those 2 places where i am going and even some restuarants. Also tips for the plane would be greatly appreiciated. Now folks I am not talking about clothes or shoe shops I am talking about the more superior shops which sell trek stuff or basically anything sci fi or any game shops. I am aware there is a forbidden plannet there somewhere thanks for your time ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amnot Borg Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 from all the previous chatter, I thought you were already here in the states.... Having visited Washington D.C. only once myself, the Smithsonian did have a very nice Trek display ...once. Rarely ate out, I was staying at a friend's relative's home in Manassas. My day tours included the National Cemetary in Arlington, the Smithsonian, the FBI building, the Capitol building, and a long walk along the Mall looking at the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. The Arlington National Cemetary was very inspiring to a geek like myself. JFK is there with his eternal flame. The U.S. president that moved us towards the moon. The Challenger Memorial was very sad but still inspirational. Real space travelers giving their lives to push humanity into the future. If you never find any other single thing to take home, bring a camera and take home some great memories. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c4evap Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 You asked for tips for the plane...well, I can tell you one thing.

QUEENSPOCK Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 I am acually from the UK thanks for the advice so far i am bringing a video camera so hopefully will record as much as i can if i ever learn how to work it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c4evap Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Oh...and don't leave any valuables in your stowed away luggage. Things have been known to mysteriously disappear in and around US airports (must be rats...baggage handlers would never, ever steal anything :P ). And expect to pay top dollar for cheap quality goods. Welcome to America! LOL. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnot Borg Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I am acually from the UK I know. I thought your lack of participation in Niteshire was because you were already visiting the States. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest c4evap Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'm about 1.5 hrs from NYC. Maybe if you take a wrong turn you might run into me upstate! OUCH! LOL. You know what would be really, really cool? If we could all meet face to face someday. I think that would be great! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalith Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 i hope to visit the states soon (probably next year though) would be staying in Chicago if i do (yeah i know i'm a glutton for punishment lol) well my gf is from Illinois so it is a logical thing to do ;) as for meeting up it would be really cool if it happened c4 i agree :) perhaps a date and a place should be arranged and see who can make it. Maybe a meeting in the UK somewhere would be good (so long as its not London as London really is expensive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
