Great places to visit in America on holiday?
Question by I’m beached as bro…: Great places to visit in America on holiday?
My family are planning a holiday in America and i’m really excited!! What are the best places to go? I am the oldest child (15) and I have two younger sibling (2 and 5) There are so many great places but I want to know which are the best theme parks, sightseeing places, beaches maybe? Don’t forget shopping! We will probably stay there for a month in their summer. Any places we should stay away from?? Thanks (:

There are many, and a good place to start is the USA tourism website:

Every state and most cities have a tourism website. Many of them will mail info (including maps) to you free (even to addresses abroad).
Shopping is everywhere.
Orlando, Florida is an obvious choice for theme parks.
I think the best beaches are in northwest Florida:

Check with your health insurance to find out if it covers you in the USA. If yes then take proof of coverage with you. If no or not sure then get trip medical insurance, which is cheap and sold by airlines & travel agents. The USA has wonderful medical care, but it isn’t cheap.
I hope you have a great trip!
