Immigration Advice, traveling from the UK to the U.S. Vacation?
Next week I have to fly to Portland from Gatwick (scale Atlanta). I have never flown by myself before and never to the U.S.. I'd appreciate some tips from the experience in getting through immigration at the lowest hassle as possible. I am a British citizen, hold a valid biometric passport, have a job (part-time only, though) and a family here in the United Kingdom. I stay a little less than two weeks in a hotel with my boyfriend who is U.S. citizen. I have a copy of my itinerary (electronic ticket) to show that the intention to leave the country again. I have no criminal record. However, I am a very nervous and tend to show that I'm worried or scared easily. Please give me advice from his experience on what to say, how to act, and I know all the additional issues that may arise. In addition, I will go through immigration Atlanta (my layover time) or Portland (my destiny)?
it always clear customs and immigration at the first port of entry. Immigration Officer, probably ask something like "purpose of your visit?" and you say "on holiday". If you checked "yes" to question its customs form, if they are carrying food, s / he will ask you what kind, and perhaps send "additional controls" to ensure that they have nothing meat, fruits, vegetables, etc. Otherwise, pick up your luggage in the customs form on the road look out, the hand of the bag on the counter of the transfer, go to your gateway, get on the flight to PDX, bon voyage!

Best Bets for rail travel in Europe?
I am planning a 6 week trip to Europe, beginning in England and ends in Italy. I want to visit many of between both countries major cities or small towns. I'm wanting to know what is the cheapest and best offer is for travel by train. Should I get a Rail Pass, a Eurailpass, or buy tickets from point to point? I'm not sure how many days I plan to travel around or how many days are going to have to do to travel. I do not, and probably does not have plans in stone as a plan to go anywhere whenever I want. I'm 23, well within the price range cheap. Please give me your suggestions. Im looking specifically for travel by train … not travel by plane, but its cheaper
It is difficult to say which would be the best option – point to point, probably end up being more expensive than Eurail, without knowing how much you want to move, I'm not sure Eurail Pass you should get. If you want to visit a lot of places in six weeks, is likely to move every couple of days, so an unlimited number could be useful, even if it is the cheapest option … I did almost the same trip in 10 weeks, and he certainly needs the unlimited. Do you know if you're going in a more or less straight line or meandering a bit? Probably not … It will have two passes, independently, a BritRail and Eurail one (although if you're only doing, for example London and its environs, you can get a point by point, if you're doing something more than a couple of trips, or go to other parts of the UK, would get a pass). Check out the Thorn Tree Lonely Planet Forum, you may be able to find others with better advice, my trip was very well planned.

Can you give me some tips for a trip to England?
Ciao, I'm an Italian boy, perhaps, is the possibility for concrete production travel to England, (the dream of a life), I'm putting this project and some of the money for it … He recommended I go see? He recommended that towns and cities or museums, etc. .. Thanks for the responses! I love England.
Anywhere in Europe is not cheap, but England (and the rest of the United Kingdom) is expensive, especially travel such as trains and taxis, while food and hotels are not cheap either. London is the most expensive of all, so make sure you have a lot of money. That said, London is the ideal place for the average tourist. If you plan on moving or living here in the UK, the further north you can reach London, the cheaper cost of living, so somewhere like Manchester may be better. If you enjoy walking and outdoor then try a place like the Lake District near Windermere and do some camping. Other most popular tourist spots are Stratford-on-Avon (Shakespeare's birthplace) or important cathedral cities of Canterbury and York. In Scotland, Edinburgh is nice, but probably more I recommend London as there are tens of musemns and attractions to visit.
