Caledonian Craig Posted July 1 Posted July 1 I fly back later today after over three weeks out here in the States. Two days in New York then up to Boston by train for ten days. A flight down to Miami for five days and then a 27 hour train journey back to New York for five days. The cost was probably in excess of Β£5,000 but to see Scotland in a World Cup fulfilled a lifetime dream and being part of it all was just utterly superb and unbelievable. The sightseeing was brilliant too.Β I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Trip and time of my life. Shame the football wasn't better but the memories will still with me forever.Β Quote
calum83 Posted July 2 Posted July 2 I was only at the Brazil game payed through the nose for it end up in leather seats comfy as fook. I stay up near Orlando only down in Miami for the game then back. everyone was so nice to me. I don't think I will ever forget it happy as pig in shit pity Clarke couldn't learn to manage his team better they were rottenΒ Quote

Around Β£8k in total for the 3 of us. Was it worth it - absolutely. The experience was priceless. Quote

Any regrets, or was it all worth it? For me, I spent three days in Boston for the Haiti match. I probably did the trip on the cheap compared to a lot of folk, as I'm based in the US, stayed with friends, and only went to the one game (Category 1 ticket through the lottery). All in, it came to around Β£750. To see Scotland win at the World Cup and experience the atmosphere in Boston before and after the match was something I'll never forget. Looking back, it feels like money very well spent. In the euphoria after the game, I was genuinely tempted to stay for another week and try to follow the team. In the end, though, I decided to leave as planned. I'd had an incredible few days, and I thought it was better to head home while everything was still on such a high. Looking back, I'm really glad I did - I came away with nothing but brilliant memories. I had a similar experience as I only went to the Haiti game.Β I based it around a conference so got return business class flights to Denver and one week in Colorado with a hire car paid. I was only out of pocket Β£800 for the ticket, Β£550 for the hotel and Β£300 for internal flights.Β It worked out at less than Β£140 a day so well worth it. Rocky Mountains National Park and the Flatirons were spectacular. I also got to see a gig at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre.Β I didn't think I would ever see Scotland win a game at a World Cup and the in-stadium experience was the best I've ever witnessed. All together it was absolutely brilliant and I have memories that will last a lifetime. I don't think I'll ever have a trip like that again.Β Quote
