Hi 

In about 2 months (or just under) I may be heading off to the good old 
U S of A to attend Usenix. I intend to take a bit of a 
vacation afterward, and would enjoy meeting some of my email 
aquaintances along the way.

Problem: I am not rich, and our local currency translates very badly 
into US$, so If possible, I'd appreciate hints/suggestions for places 
to stay. I am not above mooching a bed from someone (if they'll have me)
and I promise not to overstay my welcome. ;-)

My intended length-of-stay is a few weeks from about halfway through 
June until {whenever my money runs out}/{8 weeks later} (whichever comes 
first).

My intended itinerary begins in New Orleans on +- 13th June, and lasts 
for a week while Usenix happens. Afterward, I'm looking at something 
like (In no particular order):

* A week in DC (I really want to see the museums).
* A few days in Montana (I hear the mountains are beautiful)
* A week with my brother in (Just north of Vanvouver, BC) (Yes, I know 
  it is Canada).
* Some time in San Francisco - I hear that comedy clubs can be good 
  there - and meet the FreeBSD crowd there. Also drool at the bookshops.
* I am told Portland Oregon is ggod - mebbe take a look there.
* National parks in the region Yellowstone, Yosemite?
* 2 days (max) in Vegas :-) (maybe)
* Florida - 'Gator country - Eat me some Cajun shrimp. Hehehe!

Other - National parks? I like animals and wide-open space. Suggestions?
	Florida - Space museum? Maybe.
	What else is famous for good food?
	Other museums?
	Disney(land|world). Dunno. Maybe.

The air ticket(s) will not be too bad, it is the accomodation that is a 
killer, so I'd be grateful for any tips, hints, suggesions or offers.

I can bring over some South African wine/brandy, Biltong, or whatever...

:-)
