On the flip side, millions of Americans only visit London.

Done New York, New England and most of the surrounding areas back in early 2000.....
2007/9 did most of the rest.... drove coast to coast and visited MANY places I would class as more "American" than NY.... Arizona... Dakotas and Arkansas spring to mind... |

Some of my relatives wanted to see the "real America" a few years back and took a tour which basically encompassed NYC, D.C, Chicago, L.A and SF, and not much in-between. My reaction to their choice of destinations didn't exactly go down well.
NYC, FL, CA, and Vegas are the usual holiday destinations. I haven't known many people that deviated from this, but some do. This isn't counting people wanting a shooting holiday, although many of them do gravitate towards Vegas and FL. I have encountered a few people that even visit CA to shoot, albeit as more of a side-activity. It's not really a bad deal since most just want to use handguns, but I digress. |

If you're coming to western Ohio, let me know and I'll get you a ride along with the local SO. You'll see a side of America you'll never forget.

Considering most in Ny city don't say they are "American" they say they are "Puerto Rican Dominican Italian Asian or countless other nationalities" even though they, their parents or grand parents have never been to said nation. I hope the bits visit other city's besides NY or Orlando. God knows we have the same problem with "non Americans" here. Meaning 3 generations deep in being born here yet they still don't want to be American

Western European countries are pretty small as compared to the USA. So their concept of America is related to their life experiences.

Yeah, I know. We're just too lazy to distinguish between y'all. Yank may also be substituted for Colonial, American, Murican, Septic and a whole lot of other terms.

NYC is it's own special place, nowhere else is fully like it. That's good and bad. Actually, Manhattan really isn't like the remainder of the city - which you'll almost certainly never visit other than passing though. While I'd encourage you to spend a few days in NYC saying you've seen the US by visiting NYC is like saying you've been to Europe by going to London (and really only the City proper). And since you're on ARFCOM I'll simply say that NYC is hell for anything gun/hunting related.

Every big city has pockets that are nice but travel around and into the country if you want to see real Texas (or wherever you go). Fact is many of the cities in the US are pretty big compared to those of Europe in general. You think of the well know large cities in the US (NY, LA, CHI, etc) but in the end you have fairly large cities such as Boston, Atlanta, Miami, Seattle, Pittsburgh, and I can go on and on. Just because you are in Texas doesn't mean you are out of the typical big cities. Get out of the cities and past the suburbs and farther.....its a big country. |

Try Oklahoma, or Texas if you like to shoot guns. I like the deep south such as Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama. I would definitely trade a day at the range for some Last of the Summer Wine videos. Iused to love that show.

I mean, just go sit in the heaviest traffic you can find, eat the greasiest food you can find whilst overpaying for it, and try to arrange for someone to shoot at you a couple times, then give your car away to some random stranger, preferably while getting punched about the face a few times. There, you've experienced Baton Rouge without paying for travel. (Though I suppose you can leave out the car bit, as up there it'd be a rental I imagine, rather than your own.) |

You can adjust your other destinations as you see fit. Bring your GPS: You may need it. By the way: I'm about an hour from Gettysburg, myself. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Now you know why Bugs keeps getting lost after Albuquerque.

If New York City defines the United States, then I'm a monkey. Come out to Boise, Idaho if you want a better definition of average American life. Unless you're afraid of everyone around you lawfully carrying concealed weapons. Hi, Where is Boise ? My wife and son wamt to go florida this year and i wanted a week in baton rouge ? I went vegas and dallas fortworth last year and thought dallas was more american than vegas. Atb Mart Its way up in the PNW wastelands! Best part of the US actually! Out of all the places you know, if you could spend 10 days driving/ shooting/ eating and just booking in motels as and when, Where would you go ? Thinking of a road trip next year without the hassle of being tied to one state ( maybe a good one for gd ) Atb Mart |

You will end up missing something and should plan to see specific regions, at least 4 trips. Southeast, Midwest have the friendliest gun laws, best food, and warm climate. GA/Florida (excuse the carpet bagging Yankees in FL.....oh, and only people from the NE US are Yanks/Yankees. Don't ever call a southerner a Yankee!). The big cities don't have many true/traditional Americans in them. |
