Mandy, you should give us an idea of what you like. Where would you head in Oz if you had your choice?
The Outback? Definitely do the southwest tour and see the Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest, and more ~ and if it's not too far out of the way, see the Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson. It is breathtaking. The water? Head down to the gulf, southern California, maybe the great lakes. Entertainment? Do NOT miss Las Vegas. Kid stuff? Orlando is the best. Nature? Yellowstone or any of the other wilderness parks out west. Cities? New York, LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Seattle. Small towns? Try 66, or any of the interstates and get off whereever you see an interesting city name. History? Well, you'll have to do some research into what you're looking for. We're not Europe, but we're older than you guys. :D Government/Monuments/museums? Washington DC is the place to be, although NYC has a great selection of museums. I don't know what you like to build, but I'm an air fan and I love the air museums in Tucson, Seattle, Dayton, and of course DC. And there's the Intrepid on the west side of Manhattan. And the greatest concentration of paper modellers in the country is right here in the DC area. :) Meg On Sun, Mar 18, 2012 at 9:21 PM, The Haggard 何麥可 <[email protected]>wrote: > I lived in Winslow, Arizona for 14 years.
