I wonder how many Brits think Las Vegas and Orlando are representative of the US?
Listen to Talksport and let it be a lesson to you

Not many I would have thought. America’s a very big and diverse country with different lifestyles, local histories, food, etc. It’s like asking someone in the US if Europe is the and all across the board.

Shithole with neon sitting in the middle of a bakingly hot desert
Been to Vegas a couple of times; love it.
Not somewhere you would want to spend more than a week or so in, but had a blast both times.
Just have to take an amount of money you're prepared to lose and just go with it.

Exactly, Mr. Lawns.
Cape Cod, for instance, is totally unique and bears absolutely no similiarity, culturally or otherwise, to SoCal.
I love both places but really it is like visiting two completely different countries and cultures.
As you say, an Americam visitor coming to Europe could not judge the whole continent based on a visit to the west coast of Ireland, the Swiss Alps or Wigan

I love Vegas too.
And you don’t even have to gamble to enjoy it
A wise man once gave me a bit of advice about Vegas.
I met him in a diner in Barstow, Ca., the last stop in the Golden State before crossing the Nevada state line.
“Son”, he said to me, “Do you want to know the easiest way to leave Vegas with a small fortune”?
“Yes”, says I, listening attentively.
“Arrive with a large one.....” was his reply

Got three days there in Novemeber at end of holiday. Think will like it and if do, can always go back as always wanted to watch some boxing there. Plus, will be only mid-late teens temperature then.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

Re: Where you going for your summer hols?
Been working throughout the summer. Will get a long weekend in August, but then going to go for the summer holiday in Jan or Feb.
Has anyone been to Hawaii? Or recommend a nice Caribbean island?
Thinking of an open ticket to Hawaii via LA/Vancouver and back via a Pacific Island or OZ/Japan/Singapore.
Maybe biting off more than I can chew though trying to do that all in 4 weeks, so it'll maybe just be the one place; but if anyone has any suggestions or tips more than welcome.

So what's the fucking point of sitting on a plane for eight hours? May as well go to Benidorm.
