one problem with this country - there is sooo much to see. I haven't seen half of the places that I would like to. NYC is fun but I haven't done much touristy stuff there - been either there for work or visiting friends. LA is totally different - urban sprawl at it's best. I would recommend visiting Arizona, despite having lived there for 5 years - ha ha. Seriously, I would still be there if I hadn't developed allergies. Downtown Phoenix has really taken a toll over the past several decades but there are some funky neighborhoods and decent new developments. Oh, and need I mention the grand canyon? I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the midwest - though I think midwesterners could be a bit more friendly. I would love to take a month long road trip in the summer and visit some of the quirky little towns and attractions in the states (roadsideamerica.com). I wish I could recommend a place to live but that's a big topic - I don't even know where I want to live!
