Stars and Stripes

Sarah Davies on 01 December 2017
The US of A really does have it all. When considering a city break, The States really does have everything to offer. The sheer range of choice is as immense as the size of the country. Sometimes the trouble is knowing where to start! Often, when people think of holidaying in America they think of Disney, Universal and Orlando, however there is so much more... Traditional favourites such as Christmas shopping in New York, gambling in Vegas and the culture of beautiful Boston are true crowd-pleasers. Nothing can beat the amazing Christmassy-feeling of the ice-rink outside the Rockefeller Centre, along with its’ stunning Christmas tree, shopping in Macy’s and partying in Times Square! Las Vegas is an eternal favourite of ours (and I have another blog dedicated to the bright lights and fantastic entertainment to be found there). Boston is just gorgeous and its’ famous Freedom Trail is a must! Yet, these “Stars in Stripes” are just the start of this fascinating country and there is so much more to explore. From the snow-capped mountains of the Rockies in the North to the glorious Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco and the must visit tourist attraction Alcatraz and not forgetting Fisherman's wharf and the delicious clam chowder which is the most amazing soup/ strew you will ever taste- back across Route 66 to Chicago, there really is something for everyone. For music fans, visit the home of Elvis in Memphis, chill out to some traditional jazz, (with your spicy gumbo of course!) in the buzzing New Orleans. Or, if you prefer something a bit more laid-back, take a romantic carriage ride in Charleston, relax on the beach in San Diego, Miami or Los Angeles. Decisions, decisions! A weekend break, a family holiday or a once in a lifetime road trip, I’d love to tailor-make the perfect holiday just for you. The holiday may not last forever but the memories will be forever in your heart.
