Bit like India I never really wanted to go to the USA that much. There are of course things I'd like to see like New York, the Grand Canyon, New Orleans, Yellowstone etc. But in general not much grabbed me as essential. After years of traveling to 'developing' countries it will be interesting to pop over to the ultimate developed country. I am sure the contradictions of the place will be fascinating, not to mention seeing how my preconceptions are confirmed or (as usual) shot to pieces.
The Plan: Well, I am flying to San Francisco and staying there for a while for Alcatraz and micro-breweries and all that before heading off toward Yosemite (snow dependent) then down to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. Then it will be west to LA before taking my time passing up north back to SF along Highway 1 or the Pacific Road Highway via Big Sur and Castle Hearst et al.
Should be fun. Will keep you posted...
