-NYC to Boston via chinatown bus (uber cheap) is approximately 4-6 hrs (could be 3.5 hrs on good day)
-NYC to DC via chinatown bus is approximately 3-4 hrs

Based on your preliminary plan, I would suggest landing in DC first and then make your way up to NYC and then Boston.

Here's a problem with Rochester (RIT). It is far. I mean reallyyyy far. It's 6-7 hours from either NYC or Boston. I'm not sure how are you gonna get there. Fellow ADers! help chime in suggestion for this issue. If you did make it to RIT, don't forget to stop by our infamous Niagara Falls afterward! It's only 1-2 hrs away. After that... I suppose you could fly home from Buffalo, NY.

if the weather pattern follows the past - I normally don't recommend visitors to come during Jan on eastern coast. It's incredibly cold. seriously ungodly cold. It can make your trip very unpleasant and unpredictable due to snow storm, blizzard, ice storm, etc. I would say - come on late February or March. But if you wanna live like a New Yorker, then sure come in Jan. we'll man you up :mad2:

Have you ever think that I got used to the cold weather, son? It is winter down here already and I was fine with Japan weather, I got enough winter clothing, and Jan is the good time for me to fly in since it is my summer break down here, and if I come in late Feb to March, it will be in the middle of my uni course, and I dont want to miss anything there. I can't go in the middle of the year in 2010 becuase university have 3 semesters now, yes, they have added another one (short one) and there is only ONE week of mid break in between and that is not enough so I will have to man myself up in the winterly weather and you know, I will survive regardless. I was in USA during winter! It was in feb 1999. So overall, son, I'll live.

my flight wont land in D.C first, ALL international flights must land either in San Francisco or Los Angeles and I picked LAX becuase it is easy and cheaper, and will change to domestic flight when I arrive there to Washington D.C ..... guys, is boston worth a visit?

I wont fly to New York, just wanted to try one of these other transportation in USA to New York, something different to enjoy. Flights are so boring.
 
Exactly! Amtrak offers train trip from DC to NYC, don't bother going on Acela unless you want to experience speed.

I just dont want to sped too much, just wanted to enjoy my time in the USA. So train sounds good, how many hours again?

express train from DC to NYC is probably about 1 hr... probably at least $100.

3 and half hours is fine with me, it is just like driving to Sydney. :lol:

remember - you'll be very fatigued from a very long flights. so since you'll be fatigued from long flights, another 3.5 hrs with this train will get to you.

just saying.

son... you ain't seen nothing yet about our winter in here :lol: The winter in 1999 is NOTHING NOTHING comparable to winter in here for past few years. yep - damn global warming. But you will experience our bravery. blizzard, ice storm, etc will not stop us :mad2:

I'd say Boston is good for 1 day. It's a college city. Might wanna visit Boston University, MIT, Harvard, and... uh.... lol I dunno.

Maybe it's best if you head straight to RIT and then Niagara Falls from NYC and then fly home from Buffalo, NY.
 
why don't you join us to Pocono? I can drive you. we will ski/snowboard/snowtube :cool2:
