self fly hire in USA

[jonnoboy]

I appreciate there is a similar topic currently in the forum, but was looking for a bit more basic info.

I may be going to the States in the summer and hiring a plane with my father and uncle. We are all relatively low hour ppl's and was wandering, with this in mind what would be involved in hiring an aircraft there.

Is a FAA medical and liscence required?

What would be a suitable aircraft to hire, and rates?

where the best and most suitable scenery to fly over is?

Is a week long enough, and what distance could you cover?

Enough questions for now,

Thanks in advance, Jonnoboy
