Having driven across my country for 3 1/2 months when I was in my early twenties (about 10ish years ago) I am partial to the places I have been. There are many categories of destinations as my country is HUGE consisting of 50 states and Territories of Puerto Rico and The US Virgin Islands.

from Wikipedia:

The United States is the world's third largest country by land area, after Russia and Canada.^[9] Its contiguous portion is bounded by the North Atlantic Ocean to the east, the North Pacific Ocean to the west, Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Canada to the north. The state of Alaska also borders Canada, with the Pacific Ocean to its south and the Arctic Ocean to its north. West of Alaska, across the narrow Bering Strait, is Russia. The state of Hawaii occupies an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, southwest of the North American mainland.

Just to give you an idea of what we are--geographically.

Not many Americans travel much anymore. I don't think the average family takes many or long vacations any longer. People work more and spend more money on big TV's, expensive cars and gigantic houses nic-named "McMansions". This selection is just a TINY, TINY, TINY fraction of what there is to see in my country. If you are ever here, look me up and come crash on my sofa cause that is the kind of friendly American I am.
