SEE The United States, and you Decide.
As I often repeat, Rome’s (Georgia) construction did not take a day, and you cannot see it in 24 hours. You might get more out of a frozen peach pie than trying to race through Georgia. And I can point out 49 other, and one Federal District examples just like Georgia.
WORSE CASE, focus on two-three cities and immerse yourself for seven days. A little better, add an extra weekend on and give yourself ten days.
People say, oh but I am going to go back again. If you already know this, why try to cram so much into the first visit?
I suggest and find most people are happy with, doing one of three sections per trip. More specifically, the Northern, Central, and Southern parts of a state.
Hawaii, I understand the thinking of trying to see it all at once. It is further than most states, But do you want to drive past the candy store, or go inside and taste?
Fly into Orlando and out of Miami. There is enough to do between these two cities in seven days. And that’s without adding the Keys or Gulf Coast.
Fly in/out of Los Angeles and immerse yourself in the city’s three distinct areas, The Valley, Los Angeles, (including Hollywood and Beverly Hills,) and the O.C.
The Smithsonian (One of the world’s largest museums, is actually a collection of several) can take a week.
And Colonial America, home to liberty and lobster dinners. Then day trips to Concord, the Cape or Walden Pond. Or the National Parks?
What about the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in The United States? There are more than twenty.
Day Trips
For day trips you can make it to the cape, the coast or the Keys. Or spend longer. Monticello, Mount Rushmore, or Brooklyn are all within a drive (or trains) reach.
Do you start to get the picture? The United States has so much to offer, don’t skimp. Start creating memories. What will be your favorite one?
