Remember too that 21 is the drinking age in the USA. Don't know if the pair of you like a tipple but you won't be able to over there.

Thanks for the link, proved very helpful
also another option we were looking as was perhaps buying a car traverling around for a bit then selling it after, has anyone tried this before?

thanks

Whilst it's not impossible, registering and insuring it without a US address is problematical. And selling in a hurry is not easy either. Assuming it lasts the trip - cheap cars are liable to fall apart.
