USA Holiday advice please. (1 Viewer)

If you go to Florida, your stuck in Florida and everything is quite a distance to the next tourist spot.

My suggestion to base yourself in:

WEST COAST...LAX
and here's what you get:
1.The Original Disneyland (smaller version of Disney World...less walking)
2.Universal Studio in Hollywood(orignal lot, bigger & better than FL)
3. MGM Studio
4. ...1.5 hrs from LAX is San Diego's Sea World
5. U.S. Naval Base Tour (San Diego). Their Museum is great... specially the model displays of 1/48 scale warships including
aircraft carriers with planes
6. 5.5 hrs to Las Vegas and additional 2 hrs to the Grand Canyon (the new area opened up with a glass walk overlooking the
Colorado River)

...and many more. In short everything is a driving distance if you base in LAX.
BTW, while in San Diego, you could visit TSSD (Toy Soldier of San Diego)
P.S. I am not from the Left Coast...er I mean West Coast. I am from Peoria, Arizona so you see I am not biased. Based on my vacation experiences, you get a lot more for your money if in LAX

Thanks for that NP,sounds like theres loads to see there..Actually most of my American family members are based in and around the Phoenix area of Ariz.

...but, don't come to AZ (6 hrs drive to LAX, 4.5 hrs to Las Vegas, 4 hrs to Grand Canyon, South Rim, and 1.5 hrs to Sedona)) this time of the year. It's HOT HOT HOT. Temp ranges from 95F-110F. The best time to be here is October-May. My suggestion is stay in LAX and maybe drive up to Phoenix over the weekend to see the family.

Enjoy
