Personaly the more I read the less I'm interested to ever go to US. I admit, it's partly because of gun control (absence of it), police burtality and twisted laws, but at the same time I don't even know a single place I would to visit in US...

I have traveled thru' most of the lower 48 states on several occasions, and have to say these were the most memorable trips of my life (I am from Ireland). I have been to all of Europe + some of middle east & far east & latin america, but the US does stand out when I look back with great food, nice people, and amazing wide open spaces and scenery and never got in trouble with law, tho I can imagine it happening (for example: I was constantly warned bye people to stay under speed limit , while in Ireland it is more of a guideline!), since socially the US is a tinderbox about to explode, which is obvious if you ever endup in a wrong part of any town.

As for places to visit, where to start! Grand Canyon, White Sands, Las Vegas, LA, Appalachian Trail, Space Coast, Yosemite, San Francisco, Oregon, Savannah, DC, Key West, Texas.... shit the list goes on... now that I think of it the scale of the country and being able to drive everywhere is simply breathtaking, I have traveled thru more of the US than most Americans I spoke to and to be honest yee guys have a great country populated by mostly friendly and nice people.

Yes I realize there must be exceptions, but I never got into any trouble travelling the breath and length of the US, and would recommend it to anyone, hell I be back in a few months for more :)
