Ant and I got back from the USA yesterday morning. My bodies a bit jet lagged at the moment. I feel perfectly awake, but my body feels like it should be sleeping. Very weird sensation.
We’ve had a great month and have taken in a lot of sights including: Fenway Park, Cheers bar, CN Tower, Rogers Center (Skydome), Niagara Falls, Space Needle, Pike Market, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Hollywood, Grand Canyon and many other places.
We did so much it’s going to difficult reviewing it all in one post, so I’ll try and make a series of posts outlining each location. What I can do in this post is list the locations in order of how I liked them.
My list goes as follows.
Toronto Everyone was friendly in Canada and we both felt safe when out and about. We were five minutes away from the CN Tower and the Rogers Center, which helped too!
Las Vegas Amazing place. Vegas had a great atmosphere and was one big party town. Most things never closed.
San Francisco Nice place to go shopping if you’re that way inclined. The streets are unique because they’re so hilly and all over the place. The Golden Gate Bridge is something worth seeing too.
Vancouver Like Toronto, everyone was friendly and you felt quite safe. Some lovely scenery and generally good atmosphere.
Boston Nice flat area of the US. The parks were all well kept and the streets were clean. They did nice seafood and the Cheers bar was good fun.
Los Angeles I really liked Beverly Hills. Some very nice houses, but definitely a city you need a car in.
New York Been several times before, but it’s always a bustling city. MOMA is a great gallery to visit.
Seattle Definitely a place I’d think twice about going back too. Far too many beggars and homeless and the space needle has too many tacky attractions like Brighton/Blackpool.
It was an amazing trip. Beer anyone?
I would like to visit San Francisco. The “Bay Area” as they call it.
Hey. How did you arrange lodging on this trip? Did you research these areas before you went? Or did you bring along your laptop and just run hotel/motel searches as you went along?
You made me giggle on your Seattle bit. Hey… I liked Brighton!!! I would have thought that the Seattle rain made you feel at home… :)
We did a little research before we went and worked out places where we thought would be best to stay. Most of the hotels we booked up through expedia.com.
Thankfully our research paid off and overall we were in good locations and not too far from the sights.
I think I should change the Seattle bit to say Blackpool! Brighton isn’t that bad, but Seattle is. Really didn’t like that place.
Seattle was pants!!!
