@BluntSm0ker You're taking the piss, aren't you? We may be thick, but we're not stupid.... Much.

Your trip is likely done and over, but I thought I'd chime in for your next visit. I'm born and raised in New England, Massachusetts to be specific, the southeastern portion known as Cape Cod. I highly recommend south coast New England (Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, including Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket) for the first half of a driving tour. Rent a comfortable car and just follow the coast. Make sure to stop and spend some time in Mystic, Connecticut, and in Newport, Rhode Island.
Then, once you'd had your fill of the ocean, head north and check out the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Make sure to stop in North Conway & Jackson and then take the Kancamagus Highway across the White Mountains and head toward Franconia Notch. So much to do up there!

On east coast (north)? Boston/Newport RI/White mountains in NH

@Adogslife Cheers. Bit of a history buff, so I want to visit Philly and Virginia rather than beaches. Think I'll probably start there and head down into real civil war country.

@CharlesRomsey There’s a lot in Boston, but you lost that war. The Civil War was mostly fought in Virginia and Tennessee.

@CharlesRomsey Think about Frederick, Maryland. And Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and Antietam (Sharpsburg) Maryland. Boonsboro, Maryland. Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Frederick has become a real restaurant destination with a beautiful historic district. Barbara Fritchie's house is there (which is probably based on a fable, but still). "Shoot, if you will, this old gray head.......". The Museum of Civil War Medicine is in Frederick, too. I have no excuse for never having gone there. There is the C&O Canal towpath in Maryland, too, if the weather is not too miserably hot. Emmitsburg, Maryland is a cute little town in northern Maryland, not that far from Gettysburg.

@lacrossegirl25 I have family in South Carolina, so Charlottesville is on the list!

@CharlesRomsey charleston is one of my favorites
I suppose it depends on how long you intend to take/route/travel means, I'd suggest one of the coast-to-coast rail car rides; in theory, you can see almost all of the US at various levels. it won't be fast or terribly cheap, but you'll be sleeping in the same place every night. I think the trip is usually about a week.

If you on the east coast check out upstate NY, the Fingerlakes, also head into Vermont and New Hampshire, beautiful country up there

Definitely Colonial Williamsburg and the New England states, especially along the coast.

Thanks to everyone for their recommendations. I've now got the big map out and seeing how much I can fit into a two-month visit, including family in SC, Wa, Chicago, SF, SoCal and wherever else! XXXXXX

In the current climate, you will be shot, mugged or killed within a month.
Anyone that travels to the USA has rocks in their head.
I love the country but it's a bad place atm
