I would recommend the western and the rocky mountain states. The scenery is phenominal, especially if you are from Holland. You will not have seen anything like it.
I had been in California x 6 months last year. I had stayed in lovely San Francisco x 1 month, stayed in my cousins place in Concord ( Bay Area) x 1 month, then to my friends place in San Diego! I had also been to the polluted & experienced the traffic in LA! I had been to Alisso Viejo ( Orange County, El Centro and in Ventura County ( Simi Valley and Camarillo). The climate in California is favorable to most retiring people and to those who come from Asian countries like the Philippines! The highest tax is 8.5% at San Francisco! I am not sure if it went up to 8.75%!
I had been to the famous themeparks! From Knotts Berry Farm, Disneyland, California Adventure, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Universal Studios! It is quite tiring to travel also especially during the spring break where most families are! I had experienced the worst traffic in LA!
I had been to Nevada also. Most tourist and residents of the USA all go to Nevada. Are you fond of gambling or going hotel hopping? This is the place for you.
I have other friends and relatives in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, Colorado and Oregon. This had pushed me to study geography and the other states that I hadnt been. I had been to the other 48 states vicariously by reading Microsoft Encarta for Kids, Yahoo travel and my knowledge broadened through reading personal experiences of real people here at yahoo answers.
Microsoft Encarta for Kids has a nice presentation! All states are individually presented. I had tabulated all 50 states with the capital, nicknames, places of interest! It is well explained why a place got its nicknames! It really is interesting.
Yahoo travel is also a big help. Go to travel guides and the 50 US states are presented. Try going each one! Each state has its 10 popular attractions in the bottom of the page and at the upper part, there is a slideshow of the places!
Different people have different interests.
Some would like the snow while others wont. Others would love skiing while others wont. Are you interested more in museums, nature, sports, shoppping, history!
Before going into one place to another, I usually buy a map of the place I would like to go then plan my trip well! In some cases, the guided tour would be of help but in some cases it is better to be well equipped with knowledge before going there. Aside from the map, make an itinerary and budget your money wisely. Enjoy your trip! Welcome to the USA!

Consider visiting New Orleans:
Katrina flooded about 80% of the city with salt water, and the water stayed for almost a month. Much of the city is still struggling to recover and all you have to do to see devastation is drive around. It will take years for NOLA to fully recover from Katrina.
However, the parts of the city that tourists usually visit were not flooded. It’s not a coincidence – the French Quarter and other old parts of the city were built on relatively high ground and only suffered wind damage from Katrina. Almost all of the damage has been repaired and you have to look closely in the FQ to see that Katrina happened at all. You should visit and see for yourself.
If you drive or rent a car, put your car in a lot or garage and leave it there unless you are traveling away from downtown. You don’t need a car to get around in the French Quarter, Central Business District, or Warehouse District. Also, the parking regulations are Byzantine and there are lots of Parking Control Agents.
The regional transit authority (www.norta.com) sells 1 and 3 day passes that offer unlimited use of buses and streetcars for the day(s) you select.
There is always music, but the bands change: Go to http://www.bestofneworleans.com and click on Music then Listings or to http://www.offbeat.com and click on Listings, then Music.
Wander around the French Quarter, enjoy the architecture, watch the street entertainers (do tip), and visit some of the historic buildings that have been turned into museums. Most of them charge admission but some are free (go to http://www.frenchquarter.com and click on Historic Attractions).
Assuming the weather is good, you can collect a sandwich lunch and eat in the riverfront park (watch the shipping) or in Jackson Square (a very nice park).
The Riverwalk shopping center has an air-conditioned food court with dining overlooking the river (www.riverwalkmarketplace.com).
The lobby for the Wyndham Canal Place is on the 11th floor and overlooks the French Quarter. It is a great place for an afternoon drink/snack: http://www.wyndham.com/hotels/MSYCP/main.wnt
Cafe du Monde is in the French Quarter and you shouldn’t miss having cafe au lait & beignets (www.cafedumonde.com). Another great coffee shop is the Croissant d’Or (at 615 Ursulines Street), which is open from 7:00am to 2:00pm and has food other than pastry.
The Palm Court restaurant is very nice, has moderate prices, and traditional live jazz starting at 8:00pm: 1204 Decatur Street, tel 504-525-0200 (reservations are important and they are not open every day).
There is a free ferry across the Mississippi at the “foot” of Canal Street. It is a short trip but like a harbor cruise w/o a guide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_Street_Ferry
The Aquarium and Audubon Zoo are world-class attractions (www.auduboninstitute.org) and you should see them if you can. There is a shuttle boat (not free) between the Aquarium (which is next to the French Quarter) and the Zoo (which is several miles away). You can also drive to the Zoo (which has free parking) or take public transit from the French Quarter.
New Orleans is home to a number of other museums, such as the National World War II Museum (www.ddaymuseum.org) and the New Orleans Museum of Art (www.noma.org). Both can be reached by public transit: The WWII museum is in the central business district but a long walk from the French Quarter and NOMA is not within walking distance of downtown but has free parking if you choose to drive there.
Crime tends to become a topic in questions about New Orleans. Use the same common sense you need in every major city in the world and there is little chance you will be a victim of anything except a need to visit the gym: Pay attention to your surroundings. Stay away from anywhere dark & deserted. Pay attention to your feelings – if anyone or anywhere gives you a bad feeling, leave the area. Don’t leave something like a camera-bag or backpack unattended on a park bench while you wander off to take photos. Etc.
Hope you have a good visit, wherever you go!
