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).

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.

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.

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'

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

Boston is cool, but wouldn't want to live there, sod all marking, drive like loons and the accent....bugger...
Bar Harbor, ME....just at the end of April, before the tourists start arriving, it's a lovely place, superb national parks too.

Chicago loved it when we went earlier this year.
Outer Banks of North Carolina, had 2 good holidays there. Lovely beaches and good seafood.
