Can you post an answer to this that gives us more detail about what you like to do and see, the ages and interests of the people who will be travelling? It's hard to give a useful answer without that info because of the diversity of vacation places in the US. Thanks.

Out west,...the rock mountains or grand canyon. Those states: Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, California,.....they're all so pretty. And the people are really friendly.

I haven't gone very far outside of my home state, and none of the other places I HAVE visited have been all that spectacular. So I have a limited arsenal of Fantastic U.S. Travel Destinations. That being said, I lightly suggest that you take some time in your life to visit New Hampshire. Maybe it's just the fact that I've lived here upwards of two decades, but I think there are sights to see in this state that are not rivaled by anything else on God's Green Earth. It's not like there are majestic and fabled canyons to swoon over, or tall, jagged mountains at which to gaze. But once you get outside of the sprawl à la Massachusetts in the southern part of the state, you enter some of the most pristine and beautiful countryside in the world. If you are a photographer (aspiring, pro, or whatever), nature-lover, hiker, biker, cyclist, camper of any variety, or human being with the ability to see, you will definitely find something to enjoy in New Hampshire. The mountains are old and striking, and the woods that surround them are absolutely magical. If you're more into the ocean, you can go to some very nice beaches on one of the shortest coastlines in the United States. There's so much to say about my state...but I digress, as I don't want to get too verbose. :-)

USA only, huh? Hawaii. Spend 3 days on Oahu then get out to Maui and the Big Island for the rest of your stay. I enjoyed the Hawaiian culture. The laid back pace of Maui, getting up at 2 AM to go up Haleakala to watch the sunrise at 10,000 feet then biking 30 + miles down to the sea only pedaling for 100 yards, the diving, the coffee!!!, helicopter tours, Polynesian Cultural Centre...and on and on.

The Smoky Mountains are beautiful, scenic and romantic.

Come on down to Florida.... beaches, Disney, the Keys, St. Augustine, National Forests, golf, tennis, zoos, aquariums, warm weather, and no hurricanes planned until June. :) Some of the best vacations I've ever taken have been right here in my own state. :)

I, personally, love mountains. So my suggestion to you would be Lake City-Ouray areas of Colorado, or Eureka Springs, Arkansas. In the Lake City, Colorado area, you have the higher elevations with abundant wildlife, fishing, and hiking. If you go over Engineers Pass to Ouray, Colorado, you will go thru a ghost town up in the mountains, and see some of the best scenery I have ever seen around Ouray. In Eureka Springs, Arkansas, the elevation is not as high, (therefore, not as cold), but the scenery, shows, and shopping are just as good, and, you are just a short trip from Branson, Missouri. They have numerous country-western shows and other kinds of shows there.

Orlando because it has a lot to do.

California is a great place. Go wine tasting in Sonoma and Napa Counties, head 1 hour south and go to San Francisco, eat at great restaurants, visit Alcatraz, walk across the Golden Gate Bridge (bring a jacket, lol). Go a little further south to Monterey, and go the the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Or, from Sonoma head east to Tahoe and go skiing. There is also lots of great hiking, and outdoor stuff to do here. Lots of great trails along the coast. Beautiful views, but still enough civilization for those who need it. That's just one little part of Northern California... there's a whole lot to the south too!

If you're an American, I suggest visiting the Nation's Capital in Washington, DC at least once in your life. Even if you're not "into" history or government, it's still interesting to see where some of your tax dollars are spent! http://www.washington.org/index.cfm?blnNavView=True&idContentType=36&idCurrentPage=7 Whether you see the "snowing" Cherry Blossoms in the spring; be absolutely wowed by the firework display of July 4th; or visit for a particular event, it might be bitter cold, or sweaty hot, but there's still so much to see and do, and much of it will be free too! Regardless of your political party, you'll be welcome to see and tour the White House and the Capital. http://www.whitehouse.gov/ The Smithsonian Institute offers museums to cure any curiousity. http://www.si.edu/ Including several Art Galleries, and the National Portrait Gallery; American and Natural History Museums; American Indian Museum; Air and Space Museum, which includes IMAX Theaters and a Planetarium; and of course, The National Zoo. There are usually admission charges for IMAX movies, or a special gallery showing might charge adults, but most admissions are free. The subway system, known as METRO, is very easy to use and it will take you all around the city, plus into parts of Virginia and Maryland. http://www.wmata.com/ I hope this sparks an interest and you make sure to make the trip there, as I said, at least once in your life!

Well I would recomend where I went on my honymoon, DEATH VALLY, CA.

I am Australian and I drove from Los Angeles to New York City zig zagging across many states. I suggest if you havn't been through some of the middle states then you should try a trip like this See some of the real America and not the touristy bits, you will meet some great people as I did.

FLORIDA. Its beautful. Got the BEST malls, and has class theme parks. Go with a firend + you will have the time of your life.

I would recommend you come to Texas, and not just because your tourism dollars help keep my state income-tax-free. Texas really is a "whole 'nother country." And it's huge. You can enjoy the cosmopolitan cities of Dallas or Houston, the rural beauty of the east Texas piney woods, Austin (the state capital) and the whole Central Texas region of The Hill Country, or really go "out west" and see the Palo Duro Canyon, visit Mexico just south of the border towns of El Paso, Brownsville and others, pick an interest and you can find a part of Texas perfect for you. Say you really want to go to Europe, but the money just isn't there... you want to go to the Hill Country, where many German, Austrian and other western Europeans settled because it looked so much like the foothills of the Alps. New Braunfels is really a German town, set down in the center of Texas. Enjoy German food, and the culture, and other than almost everybody (except the tourists) speaking English, you'll feel you took a trip to Germany or Austria. Want to go to the beach? Head to South Padre Island, see the white sand beaches and also take a trip to Mexico one day. Tons of fun. And no matter where you go in Texas, you'll meet friendly Texans glad you've come to visit a spell. Come on down!

Moab Utah/Arches National Monument was the most dramatic landscape I have seen so far in the USA and I drove across 4x. Montana and the Dakotas were also breathtakingly gorgeous.
