The most beautiful place I have been was North Carolina. The Pisgah National Forest and The Appalachian Mountains are totally BREATH TAKING. The mountain streams, beautiful trees, the smell of all of the flowers, old log cabbins w/ outhouses, rustic houses that you would never think people live in, so much beauty. The mountains just draw you in, you never want to leave that type of beauty.
Go to La Jolla, a district of San Diego, California.Stay at the Menger Hotel, near the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas.Go to the Everglades and Key West in Florida.Go on a bayou and plantation tour in New Orleans.Take a ferry out to the statue of Liberty in New York. Shrimp and Cillantro Pizza at Sammy's Woodfired Pizzas in San Diego, California.
see quebec and die !see San Francisco and feel good !see the Grand Canyon and feel eternity !see New York and feel crazy ! I miss the lush nature of Florida and the deserts of southwest, I miss the lifestyle and the Wide. I miss it all, every day !
Go see La Bra Tarpits!Walk along the boardwalk at Venice Beach its tres coolgo to a concert at the outdoor amphitheatre at Irvine south of LA the view north to the city is worththe ticketSEAWORLD!!!!! Do this if nothing else its wonderful.Do go up on the observation deck of the Sears Tower in Chicago its terifying.Nearly ALL of Canada is beautiful. Drive it.. yes thats right - one side to the other. Banff will take your breath away - sepecially if you are not used to mountains! Watching the sun going DOWN into the Pacific Ocean instead of UP from it!Basically i loved going to LA again as an adult.My fondest memory of Nth America as a whole would be the moose i saw in Yellowstone National Park ( I think it was doing its ' noble majestic animal of the wild' thing for this humble young tourist.
See the Grand Canyon. Visit Yellowstone National Park. Climb to the top of the Empire State Building. Visit the National Mall in Washington, DC with its museums and monuments. Enjoy the scenery in Hawaii and Alaska. Ride the ascenseur in Quebec. Take a boat ride on the Rideux Canal in Ottawa. Stroll through New Orleans' French Quarter.Take in a Broadway show.
You must visit Bayside in Miami, a football game in Pro-Player stadium in Miami. You must vist Universal Truth center in Miami. In Ft. Lauderdale, there restaurants, jazz music of all kinds. the statue of Liberty in New York, and the many art museums in Chicago, and New York. You will really love America. Well I live here there are many fond memories. My most fondest was a B.E.T. concert, in hog Island, Detroit in 1994. It was awesome.
Visit the 'strip' in Las Vegas, Nevada. There is so much to do and see for most ages...young and old alike. Unlike popular belief, there is a lot more to it than just gambling at the unique casinos. One of my favorite vacations was a family trip to South Dakota. We went first with the intentions of setting off fireworks on the fourth and ended up traveling further in to see Mt.Rushmore and exploring the beautiful Badlands. Another must see location in the good old USA.
Visit Sedona, AZ. This is between Slide Rock National Park and Red Rock National Park. Beautiful area to relax, hike around, and get a great meal. You can stay in a resort or a lower end hotel. We both arrived in Sedona from Flagstaff and felt relaxed immediatly.
See the Royal Ontario Museum! If you absolutely must, do see the CN tower, just to tell your friends that you did, but be prepared to be ripped of. Wander up and down Yonge Street, wander back and forth on Queen Street. If you have kids, please take them to the Ontario Science Centre, it's a blast. Best memory.....hmmmm.....can't do it! I have too many memories. A White Christmas, a hot summer day at the cottage? I could go on and on. When I do leave though, I miss my family, and of course, my cats!
We booked about 5 months in advance to have dinner at Spagos in Hollywood. We were guaranteed to see a star there, and when we got there we were only a few tables away from Steven Segal and Kelly Le Brock. It was a shame that back then I had no idea who Steven Segal was! Gee there were so many highlights from the hustle and bustle of New York, Kennedy Space Center in Florida, going on a Mississippi boat cruise drinking hurricanes in New Orleans, seeing Gracelands in Memphis (even though Im not a big Elvis fan!) trecking the Grand Canyon, hitting all the casinos in Las Vegas and then staying with a friend who Id been writing to since the age of 12 in California, and doing the 'local thing'.
