I wanted the question to be somewhat of a thinker so you will think of where and why you would choose it.

Los Angeles, hands down. From Hollywood to the beach, to world-class museums (100's of them in fact) to the finest dining and nightlife and weather the country offers, Los Angeles is the 21st Century Capital of the United States.

You can visit: TV show tapings, Disneyland, Universal Studios, The Getty Museums, The LaBrea Tar Pits (which still gurgle with enthusiasm!), infamous Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards, the Hollywood Bowl (greatest ampitheater in the nation), the Malibu coast, Disney Hall, LA LIVE (coming next summer, THE entertainment showcase destination!), sports events galore (from Staples, to the Ravine, to the Pond and the Big A, the local teams play to win and often do!), wineries and casinos and water parks and hiking/biking/nature trails unparalleled by almost every big city in the world, the 100's of square miles and 20 million people of the LA metro area know a good thing, and Los Angeles is it.

If there was one city I'd want to visit first and stay the longest, Los Angeles would be it. There is simply too much to do and 365 days of great weather to do it and besides, where else can you surf and ski in the SAME DAY! There's a reason so many come here and stay here, but I think there are probably millions of reasons, each worth exploring on its own.

The most wholesome and family oriented would be Branson MO with something for every one. Silver Dollar City is a total blast with rides for every age group, shows that compare to Vegas, only clean. Street entertainment, shops and food peddlers set up all over, the best part is there are craftsmen that do things the way they were done in the frontier days when EVERYTHING was made by hand. It is a wonderful vacation experience. Branson also has The Landing, newly constructed, and Celebration City, an amusement park not to mention the shows galore. You really can't go wrong with Branson. Nana

In the USA, it has to be New York City. Truly an international city representing every ethnic culture in the world, which provides the visitor with two advantages; 1. no matter how far away your home is, there's a place in NYC that you can relate to, 2. You could spend a lifetime in NYC and never see it all. (Never gets boring) By the way, I'm not from there.

Disadvantages;
It's very expensive
It's crowded and the people aren't all that friendly
It's too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter
It's dirty and polluted in many areas

My husband and I went to New Orleans last June and had a blast. Just walking around the city is incredible. There are tours galore, haunted history, cemetary tours, swamp tours, and tons of others, there Is the Imax, zoo, aquarium, malls, casinos, fun shops, great food, six flags, riverboats, plantations, and just walking along the historic Mississippi river is an incredible feeling (my husband and I sat in a park next to the river and talked for two hours). New Orleans was one of the best vacations I have ever taken and so much reccomend people to visit this incredible place!

Well, I'm from Corpus Christi, Texas and we've got the Texas State Aquarium, the Hooks baseball team, the Lexington ship and museum which is inside the ship, an American Bank Plaza which has indoor concerts which I went to see Brooks and Dunn at a few months ago, plus everybody flocks to our beaches, Padre Island Seashore during spring break and other holidays.

I have always found Chicago a great place to visit. It has great buildings to look at. Terrific restaurants offering a great variety of foods from Italian to Chinese to good old American 'apple pie'. Museums, theaters, great shopping, and good hotels and motels for all price ranges. The Gold Coast at night from the air is a great sight. Oh, and, visiting Lake Michigan and its beaches is the best of all.
