Mobile Phone use in the US is EXPENSIVE. Don't pay the rip off charges over there, get a MAXROAM sim before you go and get a US and Irish number in one. Call home for the price of a local call from your mobile!

    Heard all the reports from across the US and San Diego beats them all hands down.

    I have done New York and San Diego and I would sell my grandmothers ankle to go back there. If you have a choice, trust me, San Diego is the place to be.
