    Grand Canyon was great. We've both been to Vegas but aren't interested in going back. I did enjoy it last time I went but being young and single probably helped.

    San Francisco, Chicago and New Orleans are all on the to do list. Would like to spend some time in Texas and Florida too. It's just piecing it all together efficiently is a bit of a ball ache.

    I wish I'd had more time there, could have sat there staring at it for hours.
    We also did a helicopter ride, bit disappointed that it just went along the top of it and didn't go down into the Canyon itself, still all very spectacular though.
    Actually, just realised my video from that is on YouTube. Enjoy:

    All the theme park stuff in Florida is brilliant if you like that sort of thing. Universal
    And if you're either a nerd, dweeb or geek then the Kennedy Space Centre is worth a visit.

    We might leave Orlando out depending on money, as all those theme parks are another holiday in itself. Though I really want to see the Harry Potter stuff at Universal.

    Yeah, when I went there one time they were building it but it wasn't open which was frustrating.
    Was there when I went back for my honeymoon though
    The main ride in that part is brilliant, think my favourite is the Spiderman Ride, mindblowing.
    That was getting on for 5 years ago now, I'm sure they've built loads more since.
    But yes, it is a holiday in itself.

    Chicago is awesome.

    I was quite young when I went, but remember it being like NYC 2.

    My favourite bit of the US will always be Michigan, just because of loads of family holidays there. Hot summers, snowy winters. Ski, beach (lake)....it's an allrounder with Detroit in the middle.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Innit. The Saturn V is mind blowing.
    It's ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE (like your mum).
    It's incredible that the thing got off the ground, let alone into space.

    It's amazing. Isn't it the biggest man made machine ever prior to the Large Hadrron Collider?
