    I am Canadian and am going to the US in the next couple of weeks to see the north part of the east coast. I will let you know if there is anything awesome to see from a completely "new to me" perspective! I am so excited!

    The US is the only place I have been to outside of Canada.

    My favourite places were San Francisco and Monterey California. A fun, laid back atmosphere in both places. "To see" destinations...The coast highway...and if you go do stop at random places and the small towns and walk around.

    I have been to Texas in the winter. It snowed, which I wasn't expecting. It was beautiful, the landscape seemed very wide open...vast.

    I have been to Florida in the summer (I can't even describe the heat and humidity, like nothing I've ever experienced before) but I had a lot of fun and it was beautiful.

    I have been across the border at Niagara Falls to New York state, great shopping there.

    Definitely biased here, but in that big city list... I couldn't believe our beautiful Philadelphia wasn't included. Come on! Liberty Bell? Constitution Hall? :o

    OK okay.. more like... awesome pubs, clubs, and arts... lots of Beer Gartens and outdoor events/cultural events, cool museums, and one of the few very large cities in the US that's still full of its original charm and landmarks. And if you're near Philly, might as well swoop up to the Pocono Mountains and enjoy the Resorts, Spas, and Casinos, too. And nature.

    And the Mutter Museum! I love that. I think I might go there this weekend.

    But there is no place like New York City

    Yes, the Grand Canyon - definitely! I would also suggest New Orleans for a unique and awesome experience, as well as San Francisco and New York City.

    Hey all!
    So if an Aussie guy, muah, was to travel to the States, what is your advice on where he should go, what he should see and why?
    Thanks

    ALASKA.

    It depends on what you're into and when you're coming. There is so much to do and see!

    Come to Portland, Oregon. Great culture. 50 Miles from Snow Skiing. 50 Miles from Windsurfing the Gorge. 100 Miles from surfing the Pacific Coast. 100 Miles from White Water Rafting. Surrounded by Wine Country. Independent Small batch Breweries all over the place. If you make it out here, contact me. I'll have the BBQ going, a cigar waiting for you and a full bottle of whisky waiting.

    It's a big country. What are you looking for? Iowa does have something for everyone. They are called "exits".

    Well now I take issue with this. I'm driving through Iowa as we speak, enjoying the lovely smell of slaughterhouses and the leisurely speed limit. I'm almost not even counting down the miles to Missouri!

    My son lives in Portland. Every time I go there all I see is the lack of sun and rain, rain and then more rain. Last time I was there (February) didn't have a half an hour of sun the whole time we were there. Give me sunny Arizona any time.
