It is very hot and sunny in the daytime-so bring alot of shorts and t-shirts, and at night it gets pretty chilly-cold enough to wear a jacket. I'm sure you are familiar with desert climates.
 
You're absolutely right they're f***ing us with Euro (our Europen money) and in Italy there is also a tax on everithing called "IVA", so for example a videogame in the States costs 45$ in Italy it should cost around 35 Euro but with the Iva you'll pay it around 45 euro: 57 dollars (there is an economical crisis that you can't possibly immage:dead: ). But I don't wanna bore you ...there will be so much to say about our thief govern...
However Italy is simply amazing, and if you like archeology, you won't lose it! ;)

One of things I remember when I visited Italy three years ago is the small bottle of Coca-Cola I bought for three Euros or about five US dollars in Rome. That is the probably the most expensive soft drink I have ever purchased. :O

Thanks guys. In regards, to Italy, I actually am an Italian citzen as well as being Australian. I would loved to have gone to Italy to see my heritage but, it's even more expensive than going to LA and Las Vegas.

I hope you have tons of fun! I like Los Angeles better than Las Vegas purely because I live in Vegas, and I get bored of the Strip that other people covet so much. It's really a place for people twenty-one years of age and over. The casinos, clubs, and hotels probably won't interest me until I can actually enter gamble or drink alcohol without getting a fake ID confiscated.

However, I am sure you and your family will find plenty of other stuff that all of you can enjoy. The shopping is wonderful (if you're are into it like I am), and the sites surrounding the city are worth seeing. Are you going to the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon?

Ahhh two of my favorite places to go in America. LA (all of southern California rock! Sure it is kinda dirty, traffic sucks, people are crazt, and the smog, but there is a ton to do. Disnery, of course is a must, but all of the OC is actually pretty cool. As I have never seen the show, I still like the beach there. Pasadena is a wicked cool plac esp. up around the Ritz. The restaurants are good, but not like in Northern California. Have fun, check out Melrose and Hollywood, it is really fun.

Vegas is fun as I have a bunch of friends there, so there is always a million things to do. The shows are funa nd getting better. Check out Pantom at the Venitan, a nice show, that is not too long. Also the New Beatles tribute thing is also cool. If you and your fam want to got o a great restaurant, Picsso is one of the best meals I have ever had, top 10 (that includes all the 3-star paces in Frnace I have been to. Also there are some cool musems and things. The Venitian usually has some great shows. The stuff in Belliago is fun to. Just go into all the big resorts and check them out. There is so much art and great things to see, it really is like no other place in the world.

Hell I live in Northern cali, where Traffic is worse, people are craizier, it is dirty, AND it is cold at night, still the greatest state in the greatest country in the world! California is what the 5th largest economy in the world, that is fun to think about!

Too late. I think most people living outside of the California area don't have a very good impression of the L.A. area.

It really is fun, I thought I would hate it now I jump at any chance to go and visit. Really Southern California Rocks!

The Americans at film school have already tried scaring me off from LA. :) Rather amusing.

Not sure about the Grand Canyon. I think we'll probably go to Hoover Dam. The Americans at film school also said that Grand Canyon was pretty far away, like in Arizona or something. I'm not that good with American geography, so I don't really know if they were telling the truth.
