Hi lad/ladies, i am considering a trip round the west coast of America next year but really have no idea of the best way to go about it. Thinking of a driving trip lasting around 4 weeks. Anyone with any info regarding flights, places to stay, best routes to take would be really appreciated.
thanks
Sent you a PM
Cheers lad
It depends when you go. While the Pacific coast area is always pleasant, some of the inland places (Yosemite, Grand canyon etc) can be murderous hot in summer, this time of year would be better.

Walk in off the street.
There's a ladies football team in San Diego I think, Na Fianna they are called. San Diego is a grand spot for summer work too, there's loads of beach front bars in Pacific Beach, la Jolla etc, and a decent downtown area as well.
There's also a few teams in San Francisco, I think Fog City Harps are one, but San Diego and Southern Cal is probably better weather, even though I love San Francisco as a city.

I've worked illegally in holiday resorts and it was just a case of walking in off the street - getting a bartender or waitress job might take a little longer as you can make good money at both, but bussing/chambermaiding/etc are/were all very easy to get especially anywhere during the summer with a tourist influx.
I have friends who played GAA in San Fran in recent summers and went over illegally and got a 'better' job through the club.
I'm not sure how much influence a small club in the likes of San Diego would have but any of the big cities would get you a reasonable summer job through their club.
