Since we got our days in the US numbered we are looking for ideas of places to visit or things to do that we have not visited/done yet.


I am thinking maybe...just maybe going to a football game. I have never even watched a full game (the longest was the two OTs for the last Panthers game).

Have been to Biltmore, the Dragon, The Zoo, CMP, F1 (Indiannapolis), Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, New York, LA, Vegas, Orlando, Miami, Mardi Gras, New York, Toronto, Lucern caverns (spelling??), Roebling Road, Baseball games, Washington D.C., Richmond, Savannah, VA Beach, Busch Gardens, Myrtle Beach, Wilmy,San Antonio (Alamo Included), Santa Barbara, New Bern, Boston. That is all the places I can remember of the top of my head.


Any suggestions for places/activities within the next two months?

Wow, in my 22 years of existence I've only been "up north" once, and never west of the Mississippi. I think you've already been to all the places in our country that I want to go.

Cedar Pointe in Sandsuky, Ohio if you like rollercoasters

Philadelphia....try a real philly cheesesteak and try to catch the eagles/panthers game, but I can not imagine how much tickets are going to be on the street.

Been to Canada twice. Haven't been to mexico but won't be able to. Due to our status we can only leave the country without having to get a special 'return' permit that takes 5 months to get... so anything outside of the country is out of the question. Unless it is as part of the trip to Sydney.

Of the places you've been, you failed to mention my house!!!

Turnfast's idea of South Beach is Integraman's idea of Sandusky is ok, but two problems with that one. 1) It's flippin' cold there and 2) It doesn't open until after Diego leaves the US! Any place in Cali is generally cool. I've never been to Napa Valley and would someday like to get there.

Mode of travel? If it's by air, then no destination is out of the question. Alaska or Hawaii would be cool, too. This time of year, however, you probably would want to forego the Alaska thing... cold and not much daylight!
