USA - Lonely Planet (PDF) >
1. Disneyland & Orange County (PDF) Lonely Planet
LA and Orange County may be the closest of neighbors, but in some ways they could hardly be more different. LA: ever more urban, OC: proudly suburban. If LA is Hollywood glam, the OC is Real Housewives.
2. Los Angeles (PDF) Lonely Planet
LA runs deeper than her blonde beaches, rolling hills and beemers-for-days would have you believe. She’s a beacon for countless small-town dreamers, rockers and risk-takers, an open-minded angel who encourages her people to live and let live without judgement or shame.
3. Florida Keys & Key West - Miami & the Keys (PDF) Lonely Planet
The Keys comprise 113 mangrove-and-sandbar islands with water as teal as Arizona tur-quoise. Key West has a tolerant, accepting ethos where anything goes and life is always a party (or at least a hungover day after).
4. The Space Coast - Florida (PDF) Lonely Planet
The Kennedy Space Center gives the Space Coast its name, and Cocoa Beach, the region's tourist hub, is the launching point for massive cruise ships. But the Space Coast also offers quin-tessential Florida wildlife for everyone.
6. San Diego (PDF) Lonely Planet
What’s not to love? San Diego bursts with world-famous attractions for the entire family, in-cluding the zoo, Legoland, the museums of Balboa Park and SeaWorld, plus a bubbling downtown and beaches ranging from ritzy to raucous – and America’s most perfect weather.
