So, just how many places can you visit in just a few weeks. We spent just two weeks in the USA and during that time, we saw a lot of stuff. Some places we stopped in overnight, others we visited during the day.
Looking back at the map, we also missed a few things out – well lots of things actually, that with a bit more research, we could have included with minimal impact on our time.
There were a few things we missed simply because we hadn’t realised that you really need to book in advance – for example Alcatraz. We got some nice pictures, but to visit the island, you really need to book more than 90 days in advance at busy times. If like us, you are doing this without a strict itinerary or route, it would be difficult to work out exactly when you are likely to be there.
Despite only having two weeks, we also managed a full day at Knott’s Berry Farm, which was amazing and we have been to Disneyland a few times already.
This list isn’t complete, but it includes most of the places we visited.
