America Holidays
America is a place everyone should experience at least once in a lifetime.
The America experience encompasses so many things -- redwood forests and snow-covered peaks; deserts and canyons; vast plains and lakes, and the open road; and a host of extraordinary and vibrant cities, each with its own inimitable brand of culture and lifestyle.
America Destinations
Nobody could ever claim to have seen all of America, but everyone should see at least part of it. From the theme parks of Florida to the peaks of Yosemite, there really is something for everyone in the USA, and for this reason, it’s the perfect road trip destination.
Ways to See America
There are several different methods you can use to experience the United States of America (USA). You can just concentrate on one or two areas for a holiday -- for instance, just booking a holiday in Orlando, Florida, or staying with friends.
Many people choose to do a coast-to-coast trip, either by rail, or by Greyhound Bus -- a great way to see the country. You can also hire a car and hit the open road, which often gives you the best opportunity to see the hidden corners and unexpected wonders of this incredible country.
East to West
When doing a coast-to-coast trip, most people start at the east coast and travel westwards. The starting point is usually a major eastern city like Boston, Massachusetts, or New York City -- it obviously makes sense to spend a few days here before setting off, and either of these cities has a huge amount to offer.
Boston
In Boston you can spend a day or several days walking the famous Freedom Trail, enjoying all the delights along the way along this 2.5 walk. The walk brings together 16 significant historical sites to give you a real cultural insight of the city.
