What are your favourite places in the States to visit and why?

Ours include, Vermont, ( I love the mountains their and the scenery), Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

Minnesota in the summer for the woods, the lakes and the friendly people. (There are mosquitoes, but that's what bug spray is for.)

Santa Fe, New Mexico, for beauty and this sort of *vibe* -- can't explain it really.

Texas' Hill Country -- again beauty and a vibe.

Re: Favourite Places?
 

Love love love San Francisco..

Grand Canyon..needs no explanation.

loved New York, must go back soon, haven't been for years

Catalina Island..just fab..

Vegas.. :cool:

God, I could go on forever actually, I've loved every place we've visited, even Florida.. :o wouldn't go again now but at the time it was great.

most of all though, I just love LA, many think its a smog infested dump but I just love it, the novelty hasn't worn off yet, and is not showing any sign of dooing so..where I live is just 30 miles from downtown yet its beautiful, we have everythnig we could ever need right on our doorstep..the only place I'm not keen on any more is Santa Monica, reminds me of Blackpool too much *shudders*..

Re: Favourite Places?
 

Muahhh...do you live near Sand Key??

Re: Favourite Places?
 

Baby dolls (used to date one of the strippers there), TNT all good but the mountian views are spectacular around here in Colorado Springs.

Re: Favourite Places?
 

Maggie Mae's (in Colorado Springs) is what I would class as my local bar small but decent people. :beer:

Re: Favourite Places?
 

Seattle and Boston probably my favourite cities so far, could easily live in either of those. Add Austin to that list. Also enjoyed Vegas, San Francisco, SF-LA coastline drive, (some of) the Florida Keys, New Orleans (pre hurricane - not been back since).

Thanks Ray :)

Re: Favourite Places?
 

Nice snap Ray.

Re: Favourite Places?
 

Pacific coast of CA. I've only been north of SF, specifically on the stretch up to Mendocino, but it is truly spectacular there. I want to visit the coast south of SF sometime soon -- I'm a long-time Ansel Adams fan, and many of his classic photographs were taken in that area.

Re: Favourite Places?
 

absolutely!...driving along the coastal highway,we only ever got as far as Point Reyes (in northern Cal.)and as far south as Santa Cruz,but THE most breathtaking scenery,driving around the small towns in the Napa Valley as well!,and, of course,San Fransisco!....Sophia :)

Re: Favourite Places?
 

I second (or third!) San Francisco - if only I could afford to live there

St. Augustine, Fl - lots of history in America's oldest town

Savannah, GA - simply gorgeous

New Orleans - before.

Re: Favourite Places?
 

Franconia national park, NH. ..... This was the site of NH's state symbol 'The Old man of the Mountain' then a year or two back the eyebrows and nose fell off, now it's just called 'The Old Chin of the mountain' :D

Pocono's :)

Re: Favourite Places?
 

Carlsbad Caverns NM - Watching millions of bats fly out to hunt at sunset.

Flagstaff AZ - Desert to the snow top mountains in an hour

Jerome AZ - A feel of what the wild west was like

Eureka CA - Amazing architecture (The Carson Mansion etc)

Pacific Coast Highway - Driving the full length, a long road I know - but constantly in awe

Re: Favourite Places?
 

Boston is cool, but wouldn't want to live there, sod all marking, drive like loons and the accent....bugger... :D

Bar Harbor, ME....just at the end of April, before the tourists start arriving, it's a lovely place, superb national parks too.

Re: Favourite Places?
