im actually just trying to find some new travel ideas and places that ive never thought of…so if you had to pick say 5 attractions or places that just can be beat, what are they and where are they located (city and state)? And what makes them a good spot to visit? Thanks! I live in charlotte nc, but im intersted in hearing about anything country wide.
The same list as "Anna", except trade Niagara Falls (New York) for the Liberty bell.
Me and a couple of mates are looking at visiting the US next Summer. We want ideas throughout the East (especially California) and West coasts for places to go and have a fun time in bars as well as gaining some experience of tourism.
I visited California with my family in July, and was thinking of places like Santa Monica- not too far away from cool places such as Anaheim and LA, but with a good night-life and cool beach.
We are also on a fairly limited budget, so any advice on how to do the East coast as cheap as possible (including Vegas and New York- if that is not impossible!) would be very much appreciated.
Also, we are considering hiring a car and travelling across the States so if you can recommend any places that we can pass through that would also be cool. I’ve never really been further inland than Vegas so not sure what there is to see and do. We were thinking about taking either the I-40, I-10 or as much of the Old 66 as possible as a rough guide.
Thanks
Oops I got my East and West coasts mixed up! Ignore that little glitch please lol
By culture I meant getting the most out of the touristy bits- not really high culture and museums. I meant attractions
San Diego and all of Southern CA is a great place to visit. San Diego has great nightlife and the best spots are in the Gaslamp Quarter downtown and in Pacific Beach along Garnett Ave; both areas have tons of clubs and bars and are always fun. And you’re only 2-2.5 hours from LA and Santa Monica and about 1-1.5 hours to Anaheim. Plus you can go down to Tijuana and Rosarito for the day and visit Mexico.
San Diego is a very touristed oriented city and if you want to experiance that type of stuff SD and SoCal is great for that. There are so many tourist attractions like SeaWorld, world famous San Diego Zoo, SD Wild Animal Park, Legoland, Belmont Park in Mission Beach, Seaport Village, Balboa Park, ect.. Sd has some of the best beaches and beach communitites in the US too. Mission Beach and Pacific Beach are great beach communities and very tourist oriented. Pacific Beach is the place to go for both nightlife and beach scene. SD is one of the few places in CA that allow alcohol on the sand so there is always a big party going on at the beach and there are so many people it’s great to soak up the scene or meet new people. There are also many other nice, very scenic and less crowded beaches to visit too. There are also so many great events that go on all year and especially during summer in San Diego. The 4th of July celebration in Pacific Beach is the best with over 250,000 partying at the beach. The Del Mar Horse Races are a great event that attracts 30,000 people per day and is one of the nicest tracks in the country. You can also catch a professional baseball game in downtown San Diego if the Padres are playing at home.
Once you visit SD you can drive up to Orange County and check out the theme parks like Disneyland or Knotts Berry Farm and also the beaches there. Then drive up to LA to Santa Monica, Hollywood, and check out all the attractions there. After you’re done with Southern CA head to Vegas, which is about a 4-4.5 hour drive from LA and on your way east.
I would think either about starting and ending your trip in San Diego since it’s at the very southwest corner of the US and would be a good ending or beginning spot.
I will be making my first trip to the USA in December, I need to plan my itinery…
I want to sample what its like to be America, i grew up watching American movies cartoons…music, culture etc.
I plan to go to New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, San Francisco, Miami…any other places\venues?
Maybe even visit some historical cities like Philadelphia or Boston. St. Louis is also a great city to visit.
Which is the most paying job in USA when it comes to computer science fresh graduates with no experience.I guess it should be in programming or is it from storage or networking area.
Silicon Valley, Ca., but the cost of living is a B*tch!
cool or not
Certainly the best nation in the world when all factors are taken into consideration. You sure don’t see people flocking in such multitudes to other nations.

Born Again American

The Words to The Song
Just a workin man without a job
It got shipped off to China via Washington, D.C.
And I know Im nothin special, there are plenty more like me
Just the same
I thought I knew the rules of the game
I stood up for this country that I love
I came back from the desert to a wife and kids to feed
Im not sayin Uncle Sam should give me what I need
My offer stands
Ill pull my weight you give me half a chance
I went up to a congressman and said to him you know
Our government is letting people down
He said hed need a lot of help to buck the status-quo
I said there was a bunch of us around
Im a Born Again American, conceived in Liberty
My Bible and the Bill of Rights, my creeds equality
Im a Born Again American, my country tis of me
And everyone who shares the dream from sea to shining sea
My brothers welding chassis at the plant
Hes earning what our granddad did in 1948
While CEOs count bonuses behind the castle gates
How can they see
When all they care abouts the do re mi
Its getting where theres nowhere left to turn
Not since the crash of twenty-nine have things been so unfair
So many of our citizens are living in despair
The time has come
To reaffirm that hopes not just for some
The promise of Americas surrendering to greed
The rule is just look out for number one
But brace yourself cause some of us have sown a different seed
A harvest of the spirit has begun
Im a Born Again American conceived in liberty
My Bible and The Bill Of Rights
My creeds equality
A Born Again American, my country tis of me
And everyone who shares the dream from sea to shining sea
Its clear my countrys soul is on the line
Shes hungering for something that she lost along the way
The principle the framers called upon us to obey
That in this land
The peoples will must have the upper hand
I felt the calling once before and took a sacred vow
And faithful to that vow I have remained
I hear the calling once again, my country needs me now
And to her cause I have been re-ordained
Im a Born Again American conceived in liberty
My Bible and the Bill Of Rights, all people living free
A Born Again American, my country tis of me
And everyone who shares the dream
From sea to shining sea
And everyone who shares the dream
From sea to shining sea
