Times Square is imho only really interesting for the events held there and for the shops around it and in Midtown in general, as a landmark itself it’s nothing special. If you’re looking for landmarks, consider Central Park and the area around it, there’s some fantastic architecture there, as well as numerous museums if that’s your thing.
Yosemite is worthwhile if you’ve got a day or more to spend hiking, if you’re only there for a few hours and sticking to your car, you won’t get to see much at all.
While you’re going to/from White Sands in NM (probably via I-10), consider also visiting Saguaro National Park in AZ (on I-10 near Tuscon) and/or Organ Pipe National Monument (west of Tuscon, bit of a detour).
Have you visited the Delaware Water Gap (which is not in DE, but on the border of NJ and PA)? It might make a good relaxing stop for a few hours after or before the noise of NYC, has some nice short hikes.
If you visit Florida, consider St. Augustine with its Spanish fortress and general historic character and Big Cypress National Preserve (there’s a mostly-gravel loop road off US 41 that’s full of swamp vistas and alligators).
@eishiya
Was thinking Time’s Square and surrounding area.
As for Yosemite, thanks for the information. Cali is going to be hard to plan as there is a boatload of things there. White Sands I was thinking I-10. I’ll look into what you’ve mentioned.
Have not been to the Delaware Water Gap (I assume it’s referencing the river). Maybe I can put that in for New Jersey.
As for Florida, I guess I forgot to mention I was thinking of driving down to the keys. I’ll have to look into those (not the gators though).
@DontBeSilly
It’s really hard when you’re visiting from abroad. It’s like trying to visit in Europe. You’ve got to make sacrifices on what to see. If I do it right, I will have a buttload of pictures.
One last thing I guess I should mention, if there’s a place that I feel I really should visit for longer, I’m willing to go back. (at a later date)
i can only think of Missouri, to meet up with a couples of good friend i made while playing rocket league and since then we played together on almost all new games.
So I did some looking and I have a few more places for the list (will be edited in)
Rockport, MA (Lighthouse and surrounding area)
Mt. Washington, NH
The Breakers, RI (and surrounding area)
Kitty Hawk Beach, NC (and area - maybe Roanoke since it’s close)
Missouri Headwaters, MT
Mississippi Headwaters, MN (maybe, not sure if i’m into leeches)
Craters of the Moon, ID
Salt Flats, UT
Macon, GA (for the Cherry Blossoms)
What? I’m a non-native English speaker and I’ve been pronouncing it since I was 4. But I’m Brazilian, and we have all those sounds in our language. What part do you have trouble pronouncing?
To me, the impossible one, at first glance, was STUPID ARKANSAS.
WHY. THE. HELL. isn’t it the same as Kansas?!!!
I only learned it was pronounced like THAT when I watched True Detective
Massa ->chusetts<- around here my starts twisting around itself it’s even harder in my native languege because you have another added sssccc sound at the ending of the word so im basically sounding like a snake by then
; trying to help actually, am working and so just tried to quickly throw that in there
