Traveling to the United States can be an amazing experience
The country has many great locations which will make your visit fun and exciting. Here are a few locations you should visit if you want to make it
more than memorable.
New York City is an exciting venue which has a remarkably diverse cultural atmosphere. You can visit museums, check out Times Square, head to the top
of the Empire State Building, or check out the Statue of Liberty. In addition, there are many professional sporting venues to take in a game if that
is what you are interested in and if you are a foodie, New York City will not disappoint. Book a flight to JFK airport if possible as it is a nice
airport with access to multiple public transportation options.
Washington DC is another top place to visit in the United States. As the nation’s capital there are many iconic places to check out such as the
Washington Monument, White House, or Lincoln Memorial. Also, the Smithsonian Museum is a top destination with a lot to take in. There are also many
parks which can be a great place to explore the outdoors for the day. When flying in, checking out Washington Dulles International Airport and get
ready to have some fun.
New Orleans is another action spot which gives you an interesting flavor of life. Also called the Big Easy, it has a unique blend of cultures. The
city is rich in blues, jazz, and rock n roll. There are also some great museums such as the National World War II and African American museums. Be
on the look out for amazing food such as beignets, gumbo, and po’boys. The airport you should fly into is the Louis Armstrong New Orleans
International Airport and do not forget to visit during Mardi Gras which is always 47 days before Easter every year.
The Grand Canyon National Park can be an awe-inspiring place to take in the amazing scenery. There are many things to do while visiting. If you are
an avid hiker, you can book a trip which allows you to take a guided hike down into the Grand Canyon and back up to the top. The Grand Canyon was
formed by the Colorado River, it is sheer size makes you feel like a tiny speck, but while there you might as well do some white-water rafting which
will make your stay memorable. You will have to fly into the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport when trying to get to the Grand Canyon. Once
you arrive, you will have to make about a three-and-a-half-hour drive to the most visited part of the National Park.
This is just a short list of all the great places the United States has to offer for the international traveler.

Maybe DavidK can post a map of how to get there from California!

Don't know what eddyferne's end game is but I find his article very informative for the person who has never been to the USA before.
JZ, how about Portland?

I haven't been to Washington DC or NY in a long time, but I had fun in both cities. I lived in DC for 2 years while in the Navy. Lot's of places to
see and lots of really good restaurants. I walked up the Washington Monument, 907 steps but took the elevator down. Legs were sore for a week. Last
time in NY was for Y2K meeting. Last time in DC was 1977. I guess things have changed a lot in both places. I would like to see the Vietnam Memorial.

Shorty,
You are an odd little dwarf.
NYC is awesome. I avoid it in summer due to heat, but try to get there every other year in spring or fall.
When I lived on east coast, I enjoyed my trips to DC. Great city, lots of great museums, parks and restaurants.
Woke!

Paris is a top 5 city for me. Worked for three different tech companies who had their European headquarters in Paris. Been almost 30 times since my
mid-twenties. Got to hang out and go to all the places the locals love. Met a girl from Paris who was an aerobics instructor. Lots of fond
memories.
Hoping to get back as soon as CV19 settles down.

Paris used to be even better when the French went on holiday in August! Last year and this year, not so much though!

Grew up in Columbus, OH before moving to SoCal. Chicago was always my jam.
Early 20's we would drive up to Chicago, about a 5hr road trip. Watched many Chicago Bulls games when MJ was playing. Saw Barkley and Rodman a
couple times at clubs. Still go back every 3-4 years.
Never been a fan of NYC. Liked DC a lot back in the day. Lots of fun times there. But it's in trouble now.

The goat needs to be put out to pasture and let him be angry out there.

New York is awesome. New Orleans is awesome. The Grand Canyon is really grand. Never been to DC.
In the past, Rio de Janeiro was one of the BEST cities anywhere, not anymore for sure.
