Sounds like a show on TLC or Discovery doesn’t it? “Mega Malls!” Now we just need to think of something for them to fight. “Mega Malls vs. Laser Squids!” Now that’s a show.
We don’t cover shopping destinations on USA Travel Guide too often, and when you think about it, by covering the Mall of America [...]
Southern California steals most of the thunder when it comes to family fun on the West Coast. After all, Los Angeles has Disneyland, Universal Studios, Hollywood, Knott’s Berry Farm, etc, etc, etc. And San Diego, man, what isn’t there to do in San Diego? Family vacations and San Diego are like peas and carrots.

If yesterday’s pick, Santa Monica Beach, was a little too predictable for your Spring Break beach vacation, maybe you should be thinking East Coast instead. If you can believe it, not all of the East’s top beaches line the coast of Florida. Head towards the southern tip of Virginia and you’ll find the charming bayside [...]
One day USA Travel Guide may get to Napa Valley, what with all its pomp and prestige, but until then we’re perfectly happy sipping our way through the lesser-knowns.

Officially, Mardi Gras 2010 takes place on February 16, “Fat Tuesday”, but [...]
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 [...]
I know Thanksgiving is just a day away, but forgive me if we skip a little ahead to talk about one of the biggest Christmas events in the nation. In fact, some of the fun has already begun.
A Country Christmas at the Gaylord Opryland is a rockin’ Christmas-themed celebration of all things Nashville: music, family, [...]
We got such a great response back in June when we covered the Body Art Expo in Pomona, California, that for next year we wanted to be ahead the game.
