The United States of America: a jigsaw of contrasting lands that could provide enough to-do lists for hundreds of jam-packed holidays. Whether it is cruising past Alaska's glaciers or watching the sun's morning ascent over the Grand Canyon, visiting the States is a truly memorable experience - in the USA, every whim and fancy appear to be catered for. Deciding on just where to go is the only dilemma.
To experience the USA's huge outdoor splendour, choose from several pioneers in conservation: Yellowstone, Yosemite, Richardson Grove State Park, Glacier Bay and Bryce Canyon are all staggeringly beautiful national parks of epic proportions.
For striking desert sunsets, head to the Canyonlands National Park, and across New England the vibrant autumnal foliage is a jubilant natural celebration of the season.
America's 50th state, Hawaii, is comprised of a luscious group of islands where walking barefoot on Maui's white-sand beaches, surfing the waves of Honolulu and taking a gentle hike through the rainforests at Oahu is about as taxing as life gets.
For guaranteed good weather back on the mainland, slip on some shades and head to California. Take it easy with a glass of wine in Napa Valley - its renowned wineries and restaurants will not disappoint - while nearby San Francisco is lined with trendy boutiques and bohemian cafés, especially in the Haight-Ashbury district.
To experience urban USA in its full, larger-than-life glory, cash in on the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas, New York and Hollywood. These great cities, famous for their silver screen moments, landmarks and sheer opulence, really do stay open 24 hours a day and entice with a plethora of cosmopolitan treats. For some musical heritage, head to Nashville - the birth place of country music. Music is still one of the USA's most successful exports, and Elvis fans still hightail it en masse to Tennessee to pay homage to their king.
So the USA quite literally has it all: sweeping parks, giant rivers, idyllic coast, sand-fringed islands and cities stuffed with iconic sites and musical heritage. Where will you choose to go?
