Your going for a wedding, right? There have to be some locals you can ask?

The craziness of just asking advice for usa, mo state, no city, no town.

 

Just use Taxi on arrival. Will be waiting at airport. Wont have any dramas with kids seats etc..not required. Use Uber from then on....kids seats may be an issue. Convenience stores will be open on Christmas eve and Christmas day. Grocery stores will be open on Christmas eve but most closed Christmas day.

Good Luck.

 

Just log into Tripadvisor and everything you need to know will be in that site about the location you intend to visit..imho..

 

The 4 adults and 5 children will want to go straight to a clean bathroom and then to bed when they get off the plane from Melbourne. No driving anywhere.

 

thank you much appreciated

 

What cities?

Doesn't matter what city I always train, airport bus etc to city center. Then walk, taxi or more public transport.

I always plan to arrive before mid afternoon even if tickets cost more.

Having just spent thousands on airfares. What is another hundred or two on a taxi ?
I always find a business card from hotel or pointing on a map useful even in US

 

No city or Accommodation details.... so very hard to help you.

Do you know that many hotel chains have courtesy buses from the Airport in major USA cities?

Do you know that some major USA cities have great Train connections from Airport?

Do you know that supermarket chain brands are different from east to west coast of USA?

Do you realize that your cryptic questioning won't really help you get the responses you seek?
