Yeah i've always wanted to hit NYC, California, Vegas etc but just cause i unashamedly want to hit some of the more obvious tourist spots first. I would want to see much more of America than that though.

Heh. London is really the only part of Enlgand I've been to except for one day in Bath. :o: I can't help but think it's a little different though because London is a major world city with tons of history and culture and is also England's seat of power, while central Florida is a cultural wasteland which, aside from being home to America's most famous tourist trap, is of little cultural, historical or political significance to the US.

My school was doing a school trip to Vegas, NYC and LA this year. I was gutted I wasn't still at school. :( I think I would have prefered China anyways. Less tourist-y.

Just booked this hotel in Hisarou, Turkey.

Roll on August. http://planetsmilies.net/cool-smiley-4971.gif

^Wow that's beautiful, ever been to Turkey before? I'm also going this year, maybe I'll see you ;):laughing:

^ That looks great. Looks like a good place to go and de-stress for a couple of weeks.

Oh yeah i agree, that makes a big difference. London is the one place most people want to go to in this country if they are coming to England to visit though. London is England for a lot of people and they don't bother with the rest of it.

Went to Bitez near Bodrum, before the kids were born.
Whereabouts you going Kayleigh?

Yeah, California is gorgeous and extremely diverse in terms of it's environments (big cities, deserts, beaches, snowcapped mountains, old growth forests, etc.). The great thing about California too is it's so huge that there are lots of out of the way places you can find. Personally I'm big fan of Death Valley, a 5262 square mile national park in eastern California. Since it's a national park it's obviously a tourist attraction, but it's so big and desolate it feels very out of the way. I posted these a while back, but here are some pictures I took last time I was there:

That's gorgeous! I'm really hoping to take a trip to Turkey myself at some point.

I've been to Turkey a million times, it's scalding!
I'm going to Marmaris this year, I've been before. About 10+ times (Only place family will go :() But this year I'm going with about 7 friends :D. I'm happy that I'm going somewhere I know for a first holiday with my friends though! :)
