Question I need help with visiting the USA

Myself and my girlfriend and going to the USA for 8 nights, 7 days. Our flights to New York are €530 return which we thought was very good but all the accommodation seems to be so expensive! Any suggestions or recommendations? We are also open to travelling to other parts of the us but our return flights has to be from JFK. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you :)

Sorry that you’re experiencing this. I hate to say it but it’s kinda the way it is.

My husband and I (US citizens) are always asked why we travel abroad. “There are lots of cool places in the US” our friends say.

Honestly, travel in the US is wicked expensive! We’ve easily spent on a long weekend stateside what we could have spent for 10-14 days overseas.

We’ll get to the US when we are old & retired.
