Suggestions for a first timer

(1/3) > >>

Ryan:
Hi friends, I am travelling to the states for the first time at the end of May. This will be my first time to your country. I am Flying into L.A then to New Orleans. From New Orleans, I head to Vegas and then fly to San Francisco. From San Francisco I am driving down the coast to Anaheim and spending a week before heading home.

Ive booked a few tours in each place but unfortunately I am only in each place a few days.

If anyone has any suggestions for places to see or even eat( as you know Im a bit of a foodie) Id really appreciate it.

Cheers Ryan

How exciting for you!!  I've been to California many times, but not "native" enough to be much help on "foodie" places!  You will love New Orleans also, at least I do and Vegas is always good for a gamble or two!  Been there many times too, but like California, that was in another life and always on business, except one trip as a girl with my family -- visiting all the National Parks across the country.  Of course, Anaheim has Disney Land, and San Diego has the wonderful zoo.  I think I could quote verbatim the talk at the Alcatraz Island Prison, I've been there so many times.  Always, people I traveled with for business wanted to see that, so I've seen that many times.  I especially liked the Sequoia National Park better than the Redwood area, and NAPA Valley was always nice -- but with all the wildfires in California this past year, I'm not sure what it looks like out there.  They used to host lots of wine tastings (which I liked), but not sure what's available now.

ENJOY YOUR TRIP!!!!

I've been to New Orleans, over 20 yrs ago, lol. But if you into local culture history the city tour was amazing!!
Enjoy your visit!!

Ryan:
Thankyou , I have booked the city tour in New Orleans and Alcatraz in San Francisco .

I cant wait !!!!  I have waited or should I say wanted to do this for many years, 15 Hours in a plane is daunting , so fingers crossed I can sleep.

Im definitely interested in the wine tasting ( head to top of the list).

With a bit of luck , I win lotto before I head over then I can add to my trip and get to meet a few of you lovely people.

Well, I don't travel much, so don't have much advice.  I haven't been to California in almost 20 years, the only touristy thing we did was go to Disneyland.
When I was a kid we went to California, and my folks did a Napa Valley wine tasting tour.
Hope you enjoy your trip and visit.
