San Fransisco and its surrounding local towns are popular tourist destinations and use your travel guide to plan your trips. So here is a flavour of what the USA offers:

Orlando in Florida

– Orlando in the south is one of America’s favourite holiday travel destinations and a popular choice to buy property. It is home to many theme parks including Walt Disney World, Magic Kingdom, Epcot and numerous water parks. Universal Orlando, Universal Studios plus Islands of Adventure and let’s not forget the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. What child doesn’t want a trip to Walt Disney World or several national parks, come to think of it what adult doesn’t? Investing in a home in Orlando means fun filled family holidays whenever you choose and if you want to make an income from your home you can do that to. Simply let your holiday home out when you are not using it yourself. Disneyland alone sees a staggering 44,000 daily visitors who travel there and most homes are within a 30-minute drive from all of the local theme parks and beach attractions. You will be given a local related travel guide to get you around the theme parks with a pass and the site will be full of safety measures on your trip. My advice is to stay for two weeks in Orlando and one week at Cocoa Beach to relax, check out the local travel guide to help you. There may be a free ticket for some rides, ask at reception you could end up with a free day pass.

New York

– New York City is another favourite city to travel to and explore and is particularly enchanting around Christmas time. Day shoppers can get everything they want here from Bloomingdales to Tiffany’s and there is so much choice of where to eat. From street food carts to traditional local diners to fine dining at night to fast food outlets and if you like entertainment you are in for a treat. Remember it is expected that you give tips in jazz bars and restaurants for good service. Manhattan is the financial district and it is most definitely the place to be seen out and about town. You can visit the iconic Empire State Building, The Statue of Liberty and the vast Central Park which covers 2.5 miles of beautiful national parks, trees, lakes, green park and a zoo. Keen theatre buffs will head to Broadway and Times Square to see the latest production or take in a classic. Here you will see shows galore, cinema and lots of bars and eateries. As they say, New York never sleeps and you can get whatever you want at any time in NY. On average around 60 million visitors head to New York every year and Empire State is one of their hot spots to travel to. You will benefit from a travel guide in New York City as there is so much to see. New England is worth a visit also while you are on your city holiday trips across the country.

Las Vegas

– is another big travel attraction, this glitzy and glamorous city is where everything is done on a grand scale. Whether you are taking in a show, cabaret evening or a live music event it will blow your mind how extravagant and opulent they are. Casinos and nightclubs are big business here and it’s not called the gambling capital of the world for nothing. An amazing 42 million visitor’s flock to Vegas each year and they spend a staggering 60 billion USD. My advice is to take a chance and ask do you get any free spins or free casino chips, it may be your lucky day!

Los Angeles

– in California is of course home to Hollywood and it’s where the stars of the silver screen live and work. It’s a year-round destination with superb weather and gorgeous local beaches. Yes, it’s where the beautiful people live and you only have to stroll around Rodeo Drive to see them. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is where you can see your favourite star’s name immortalised forever and more than 2,600 film stars have been given this prestigious honour. Around 42.5 million tourists visit California each year, the cities are the top attractions.

Washington D.C.

– is where you will find the hub of the government. The White House, the Supreme Court, the Unites States Capitol, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. It’s also where you will find many other iconic buildings, museums and monuments. Anyone who is keen on history or politics will find Washington D.C. fascinating and can visit, the National Gallery of Art/Smithsonian Art Museum, Smithsonian Castle, Natural History Museum, White House Visitor Center, Air and Space Museum, American History Museum and the Holocaust Memorial Museum. If you enjoy politics my advice is a trip to travel to Washington DC is a must-see for you.

Route 66

– Set the scene, those that love a wild adventure will often drive along the famous Route 66. Built in 1926 it spans for 3,940 km and traditionally it’s driven from east to west. It begins in Chicago, Illinois, northeast of the USA and ends at the edge of the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica, California, southwest of the US. The drive can be completed in two weeks, however, it’s advisable to truly appreciate the drive and it should take around four weeks. It’s a great way to travel across America and cross eight states and three time zones on your private road trip across the country.

Why is the USA so popular?

Moving from one social class to another is much simpler in the United States than in most countries.

How do you reach the USA?

When tourists take a trip to the United States they generally don’t visit for two weeks, it is a long-haul international flight so many often stay for three to four weeks. They have a specific destination in mind and go there maybe for two weeks and then travel. Discovering the delights of Florida include, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and the Everglades National Park plus many more resorts.

International flights to the USA are plentiful and from the majority of international airports. Yes, they are long haul but from the UK you can reach the east coast in less than 7 hours. The southern states take 8.5 hours and to visit the west coast, it will take about 10.5 hours. Is it worth the flight time? My advice is yes it is, you will find the USA a wonderful country to visit, so vast and each state very different. The question is, which state do you start your USA journey in? Contact the airlines to see if they offer any free child places or support for your family.

Investing in property in the United States allows you to further explore the country.
