United States in review
Understanding a country as complex as the United States may not easy but enjoying the delights and contradictions of its natural landscape and man-made drawcards is. From the giant redwoods of the Northern Californian forests, to the deserts of Arizona and Nevada, from Michigan's Great Lakes to the prairies of the Great Plains, from the swampy bayou of Louisiana to the Rocky Mountain peaks in Colorado and the mighty, mighty Mississippi River, this is a land of staggering diversity. Gape in amazement at New York State's roaring Niagara Falls, peer in awe at Arizona's yawning Grand Canyon and wander the volcanic wonderland of Yellowstone Park.
As for man-made attractions, bask in the beauty of San Francisco on the Golden Gate Bridge and thrive on the buzz of New York City in Times Square. Have a blast losing your shirt in Las Vegas or drop in on Elvis Presley's Graceland in Memphis. Quietly reflect on the memorials at the National Mall in Washington DC or indulge your inner child at Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida.
And last but not least, relish the down-home hospitality of the hotels of the United States.
