I have always liked Northern California, Big Sur, San Francisco and north along the Pacific coastline -- a lot depends on the time of year that's a good area except for the winter rainy season. The redwood and sequoia forests are an example of America's natural beauty and well worth the short inland trip. Further north, Oregon and Washington state are very nice too.

On the east coast; New York, Washington DC and Philadelphia are American centers of power and history. Boston is a pre-revolution city that has enjoyed a renaissance to a very impressive modern city too. Boston is said to be one of the best places to live in America.

You could come to visit America five times and see five different Americas -- this is a very diverse country.
