Sounds like you'd like LA. Lots of sun and I think that's where Brazillian ju-jujitsu took root here. If you like guns, uh, can't help you there. But there are amusement parks, museums if you like that stuff, world class restaurants, etc. Easy connections from the UK. |

Atb Mart I'm not sure how flights from the UK to various parts of the US work, but I was thinking that if you were laying over in NYC anyway, it might be nice to spend a night, see Times Square, and catch a Broadway show. Unique experiences. Another world class city worth seeing (at least briefly) is San Francisco, but that's on the other coast. New Orleans is another unique American destination. (So was Vegas). Now you want beautiful scenery and the outdoors, then places like Yellowstone, and Yosemite are fantastic. |

Anywhere in the South. Hi, Where do you class as the south ? Is there much to do there? Atb Mart Technically, It's Maryland and anything south of it. But Maryland and much of Virginia don't really feel like the South. The typical south starts at Richmond VA. If you wan't to see history, look at Charleston SC and Savannah GA. As far as gun related stuff goes, the south is the best, plenty of good ranges to choose from. There are also some very good beaches down here. If you want beaches, look at Wrightsville Beach NC, Destin FL, and Hilton Head SC (which is very close to Savannah GA, if you decide to go there.). |

If you are doing the tourist thing, Boston or DC are pretty good as far as history goes. Great museums in DC. Tons of Revolutionary War/birth of the nation history and awesome chow in Boston. Hit the beaches on Cape Cod for a day. Rent a boat and spend a day fishing, etc.
You can likely hit a range in New Hampshire or Virginia. |

Yorktown, VA is nice Hi, Wheres va ? And yorktown. I am not very clued up on shortened names or the whole map of usa.sorry. Atb Mart Virginia. It has some significance during the Revolutionary War. I doubt there is anything else around there unless you like gay sailors, cigarettes, and Busch Gardens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorktown,_Virginia |

Most Americans who go to the UK go to London, even if just for a while. Like NYC, it's one of the greatest cities on earth, despite liberal politics. It's "like" London in that it's huge, diverse, and has some must-see sights. I'm not sure how flights from the UK to various parts of the US work, but I was thinking that if you were laying over in NYC anyway, it might be nice to spend a night, see Times Square, and catch a Broadway show.

Fly in to Salt Lake City. Go north through Idaho, into Montana. On the way, there are Ghost Towns to see (Virginia City for example). Spend a night in Livingston, MT (Murray Hotel). Drive to Red Lodge, MT then go over the Beartooth Pass into Yellowstone. Spend most of your time there. Take a day trip to Cody, WY and see their firearms museum. On your way back to Salt Lake see the Grand Tetons. How much time do you have? ETA: As mentioned, there's a good chance you could find a rodeo in that loop. Quoted:
