A Gap Year In The USA

USA needs little introduction - it's a traveller's Mecca with everything and anything you could ever want from a trip.

The beaches of Florida and the west coast, bustling cities such as New York and LA, wide-open spaces, deserts, the Grand Canyon, mountains and everything in between - you want it bigger and better? Well you've got it!

Where do you start with the most diverse country in the world? Maybe a visit to the Deep South, with its 'gators, or how about Graceland and Saturday morning breakfast dances (with obligatory daiquiris)... or even the Pacific Northwest, a land with towering mist-covered mountains, miles of empty beaches and the legacy of Nirvana sounding all around Seattle? Take the classic Californian road-trip - in San Francisco hear your footsteps echo around Alcatraz and browse for Kerouac in the City Lights bookstore; meander down the cliff-hugging Pacific Coast Highway for a few days as the waves crash a few yards to your right... all the way to L.A. where you can drink with the stars (or at least next to them) in the Bar Marmont, before running down Malibu Beach in Baywatch slow-mo or heading to Rodeo Drive for some serious (window) shopping. The options are endless and no trip to this incredible destination can ever be the same as the last one - eight visits and counting! Mark Simon - Manchester Oxford Road Branch
