Is that possible?

i mean i had this pathological liar friend who is claiming she's going to USA around Cali, Texas, New York etc for 2 months, for only $1500 return ticket.

Is this true or what are your thoughts if you're gonna travel to USA for 2 months, ALONE! no friends, family not with backpackers etc. Only gonna cost you $1500 only.

I find it hard to believe, any challengers who disagree with me?

If you had free return tickets, were going to sleep in a tent, and not do very much once you were there it might be possible.

unless she got some mega-fantastic deal from winning a competition or is planning to sneak onto the plane in someone's hand luggage and then sleep on park benches and walk everywhere while she's there, she's lying. maybe if she was only going for a few days she'd be ok but 2 months? pfffft. as if.

I went for three weeks and it cost double that and I was staying with family for half the trip.

It's bullshit. Plus how is she planning on paying for all the travel? She can't go to all those places on one airline and even if she took the train from NY up to go around Canada it'd take forever and still be quite expensive.

Considering how cheap plane tickets are now I don't think the train would be much cheaper at all if you consider the fact that you are stuck on a train spending money on food and stuff instead of already being where you want ago. If you wanted to save money I'd think you'd want to shorten the trip not make it longer.

Actually a plane trip between NY and Montreal is more expensive than a train trip.

The train "Adirondack" service is about US$60 for the ten hour trip. It's an all day thing but it's also gorgeous. The plane ride is normally $200 and up.

She's still bullshitting though, you can't get flights to that many places for $2000.

That one maybe... but if the train was going to take more than a day and the flight a couple hours it would probably be better to catch a plane.

i agree with you, she said she booked and put in the deposit, wtf how you book & put a deposit OVER 300 days before you actually leave? usually its under 1 year or 6 months...but over 300 days? is it possible? i said to her, how can that be so etc she said she just put the deposit for the tour not the ticket itself...completely offtrack lol

also in my other thread...i wrote about her making fake friends online, and pretending to have a boyfriend (she got exposed already & deleted all her fake accounts lol)

It could be possible with a tour but I've never ever heard of a tour that cheap. Ever. So I'm still calling bullshit.

Ask her for the company name and a link to the type of tour. If she can't supply that then it's pretty much fake.
