Best US Vacation Ever

I was in US last August and I have visited some of the good places which a tourist should see. Our point of entry was LA and just stayed overnight to prepare ourselves for our trip to Arizona. I was with my Cisco friends. Before we started our 6-hour drive going to Arizona, we attended mass first in Crystal Cathedral.

Arizona is a great place and should never miss visiting Grand Canyon. We made sure that we will see the sunset and sunrise views of the place.

After Arizona, we travelled to Las Vegas as my friends should attend the Cisco GSM. On the way, we passed Hoover Dam which is the boundary of Arizona and Las Vegas. It was soo hot when we were there to have souvenir pictures. As usual, the guys were so ecstatic since this is the place of the movie, Transformers.

In Las Vegas, we just went to the outlet stores and had a great dinner in The Cheesecake Factory. As Larrem said, it was my dispedida.

The next day, I flew to Philadelphia to meet my college friends. I stayed in New Jersey for ten (10) days and enjoyed the famous Manhattan and Woodbury Premium Outlet in New York, NJ Outlet in New Jersey since it's tax-free on any goods that your body wears, Broadway shows, travelling via trains and buses, etc.

Next stop was Seattle, WA. Oh such a great place since there are pine trees all over. Never missed the Space Needle and saw the great view of Seattle downtown. Of course the Pike Place Market where the first ever Starbucks is located.

Never missed to stop in LA to meet my good friend, Gabby and his family. Since I told him I don't want to shop anymore, we went to places such as Yuca's (mexican food kiosk as highly recommended of Mr. Steamy, Eric Dane of Grey's Anatomy), The Pinks Hotdog along downtown where the line whatever time is a mile long, Beverly Hills and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels (where Lea Salonga had her wedding ceremony). Lastly, never missed IKEA, the famous store of housewares.

Too much to share with you my experiences, it is better to show some of my pictures.
