We probably get more stories from the USA than any other country. Everyone
wants to go there and write about it - even despite the hassle of getting
in.
But with the USA far outside the soaring cost of the Euro zone, and £1 still =
$2, interest is high in travelling across the Atlantic.
Here are 10 of my favourite ideas for getting out and about beyond New
York:
1 DIY
holidays: family RV holiday in America - how to plan it, what
happened in Colorado and Wyoming - and what Mark Solomons wishes he'd known
beforehand
2 Lordy,
how Ft Lauderdale has changed - it had a reputation for college kid
parties. How to stop it? Knock down the beach motels and build dazzling
hotels
3 Ride
'em, cowgirl in Utah - driving an unruly herd of cattle across Utah
while camping out is no holiday for slackers says Lisa ter Haar
4 Stay
with the Palm Springs stars - you can sleep at Sinatra’s, party at
Presley's or meet at Marilyn's. In Palm Springs, the past is so much more
now than the future says Katie Bowman
5 Martha's
Vineyard, cream of the USA - such a lovely sounding place - the
reality is even better for David Baddiel in Massachusetts
6 Denver
to California by rail - the comfort of a cruise and the
versatility of a train. It’s the best way to travel across America
7 America's
most colourful state: New Mexico - Danny Danziger indulged his
senses in America’s most exotic and colourful state
8 San
Diego, party central - once a soulless last stop before Mexico, San
Diego has finally found its pulse. Rob Ryan checks out the hottest clubs in
town
9 Family
Florida (and not a mouse in sight) - cop cars, alligators, hot dogs,
ice cream, fake breasts, airboats – you don’t need Disney to stay busy in
the Sunshine State
10 California
campervan - bears and bolshie children are an essential part of a
family van trip, says Robert Crampton
