Take us back now please…

Anyone who has been on a J1 in the States has probably been pining to go back and do it all over again ever since they left be that last summer or ever.

The craic is 90 and people really do make friends for life as you soak up the sun, work for nothing and lay on the Irish charm for three months.

Michael Coyle from Tyrone knows exactly what we’re banging on about as he spent the summer working at a holiday camp in America, and when his contract ended, 5 of his friends flew out and met him in Chicago.

The six boys decided to go on the roadtrip of a lifetime driving from Chi-town to Hollywood and finishing in Las Vegas. It looks like a hell of a trip.
