What are some places I should go while in America? I want to see the statue of liberty. What else should I see?

The list of things to see in the US would be so long it would take a month to read it. We are a very large diverse country. You need to be more specific.

I agree with John. We could probably name at least one attraction in each state that can be considered a must-see.

Our South African relatives were very impressed with the Grand Canyon in Arizona. I think Yellowstone is neat, there is nothing else like it in the world. Hit Colorado and the mountains- a drive up 14,000+ Mt. Evans is always fun or Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. There is alot to see in the US.

I flew over the Grand Canyon in a small 12 seater tour plane ... I'd recommend driving to it rather than doing this as I dont think you appreciate it quite so much flying over as actually standing on the edge

I've flown ever, stood on the edge, and ridden a mule to the bottom. Each experience is different.

Wow .... the mule riding must have been a real experience

What I meant was I dont think I got a real experience of the depth from the air, although of course I probably saw a lot more of it than I would have had I been driving.

The mule thing was amazing. We got caught in a snow storm on the way up, and it was miserable but absolutely beautiful. The snow was heavy enough to close roads and strand me in a lodge for a couple of days. It is beautiful there in the snow.
