by boroughboy74

The Smithsonian Institution is a must see for anybody touring North America. I didn't get the chance to see this because we ran out of time, but I've heard that the Jewish Holocaust Museum is a must - see. My favourite part of my visit to North America was a day trip to the Yosemite National Park in California. The scenery and landscape is stunning. It literally made my jaw drop when I saw it. Niagara Falls, a short drive over the border from Buffalo, was also fantastic.

by guidillo

Get to know people. They're all from different backgrounds and they all think in a different way. I've been to many places in the USA and in Brittish Columbia in Canada and the people are just very nice. All the food I can eat. There's food from everywhere everywhere!! No matter where the food's from, you'll find it.

by Annie06

Try to visit as many of the different cities as possible because each has their own unique qualies. Philadelphia, Atlanta, Nasville, St. Louis, San Diego, Las Vegas, Boston, etc. Every place is so different from the next that you have to try to visit a beach, the great outdoors, as well as all the sightseeing and nightlife that you get in the cities. I loved visiting Nasville... country capital of the world! Going dancing at the wild horse salon is one experience I will never forget.

by DCgirl

Spring in DC means cherry blossoms exploding all over the city (there's even a festival for it!) and later into the warmer months mean meeting friends at a cool bar by the water at Sequoia for the best people-watching and ambience. The most romantic dinner this side of the city: Ristorante Picolo at Georgetown, near the C&O canal.
