Happy New Year’s from USA Travel Guide!

Oops! We got so busy trying to find the perfect New Year’s Eve party outfit that we forgot to write a post. See you next year and thanks for reading!

Take the Hollywood Tour of Wilmington, North Carolina

Some cities are subjected to film festivals. The classic South Park episode in which the Sundance comes to the small Colorado town and guts it of all its authenticity is not wholly off base. On the other hand, some cities fit the film festival bill beautifully. The Cucalorus Film Festival in Wilmington, North Carolina [...]

See the Cali Coast – Ride the South Bay Bicycle Trail

At USA Travel Guide, we’ve perhaps been a little extravagant with our L.A. advice: fifty-eight dollar bus tours, holidays at Disneyland, a British film festival. So today, we’re going simple and inexpensive. Which isn’t to say we’re going small. In fact, you can explore a huge chunk of Los Angeles, California coastline for the cost of [...]

The Best Car Museums – America’s Packard Museum

We’ve featured a few car museums and shows in the past – from Florida to Michigan to the warm coast of California – but you wrangle up some experts and chances are they’ll agree that America’s Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio is one of the best. Car Collector magazine even said so, naming it one [...]

Happy Holidays from USA Travel Guide

We regret to inform you that Old Saint Steven got a little too into the “giving” spirit yesterday and will be … held up for the weekend. USA Travel Guide will return to its regularly scheduled silliness on Monday. Thanks for reading and Happy Holidays!

Visit Livermore Valley Wine Country – Wine Tasting Trips

While Napa Valley drinks in all the acclaim – to say nothing of film and TV cred – nearby Livermore Valley continues to grow both in abundance and prestige. Forgiving the fact that wine grapes have been grown in this distinct graveled valley every bit as long as in Napa, the days of calling [...]

See Walking with Dinosaurs: The Arena Spectacular

At USA Travel Guide, we don’t often feature traveling shows or exhibits, especially if show dates are no more than a couple days each. This is because we like to recommend hotels and all that, and with traveling shows that always feels a little silly. However, and this is the official vocabulary, exceptions can and [...]

Mystic Seaport – Must-See Museums in Connecticut

I’ve never lived in New England, and I’ve never lived near the ocean. I’ve never, in fact, lived near much water of any kind. So I can hardly say why I find the sight of a wintry New England harbor so alluring. The ghostly silhouette of docked sailing ships in the fog, the peacefulness of [...]

2010 Fiesta Bowl Hotels in Phoenix, Arizona

The tickets are gone, but it’s not too late to get your hotel rooms in Phoenix, Arizona for the 2010 Fiesta Bowl at University of Phoenix Stadium.* I let on in the past that I’m no college football expert (or in fact, an expert of any sport unless you count competitive Call of Duty), so we [...]

Visit the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. is a treat to behold no matter how old you are or where you come from, but when you’re a 12 year-old boy from North Texas, I think it seems especially magical. It was a whirlwind vacation for the family that year – New York City, [...]
