Haha.. ok on list it is. I'll be on the West Coast. Mainly after things to do in LA and Vegas. Have 4-6 days in LA and 5 in Vegas so not a lot of time. Will have a car though. After that I'm on a boat for 7 days down to Mexico and back.
So far for LA:- * Tar Pits * Long Beach * Universal Studios * Eat something with cheese on it (I've heard it's really hard to find in the U.S. :)) Vegas:- * Grand Canyon (of course) * cirque du soleil * Obvious stuff like walking the strip and checking out each of the big casinos * Crazy as it sounds I'm more interested in the shows etc rather than the gambling. I'll be sure to bring some koala toys (after I remove the made in china label). I've heard I'll have to talk slow so that you Yanks can understand me. As for the "crikey!" comment I actually don't live that far from Australia Zoo which was built by Steve Irwin (which is one of the few people that ever uses that word these days) Wouldn't mind jumping around like a fool in front of a Microsoft Kinect if I can find one.

If you want "some tips from some of the locals on this list", just ask. We're already here! And since you asked, here are a few: 1) North America is really, really large. (Maybe even larger than Australia!) The farther north you go, the heavier clothing you'll need. 2) Always buy Americans a beer first. After that they'll fall all over themselves to return the kindness for the rest of the night. And to hear your funny accent. Seriously. You'll come out way ahead on this one, and save a tonne of money. 3) 2) Does not work on people from Canada or Mexico. 4) Tell them your great grandfather was a hardened, unrepentant criminal from England. They expect to hear it anyway, even if he was a priest, or an Aborigine, or a Prime Minister. 5) Bring your a Koala with you as an ice breaker. Everyone has one, right? If I've missed anything, just ask. Cheers, G'day, and all that stuff.

I believe there is a completely off topic list somewhere. If someone would be kind enough to point me to it (off list of course) it would be appreciated. Unless of course it is like Fight Club.
