United States - What to Expect

Go to the fahionable Winter Garden area for good food, swanky shops and an all-round bohemian atmosphere you never though could exist in the Home of the Mouse!

If you're popping through while on the road (or here for a solid visit, or living here), be sure to stop off at the Frontier Diner - On I-25 take the Central Ave. Exit heading east (towards the mountains). From I-40 take the University Ave. Exit, turn left under the freeway, follow University until you hit Central and take a left onto central. The Frontier has a yellow roof (circa 1970) and is on the righthand side of the road directly across from the University of New Mexico Book Store. You'll find the best sweet rolls ever, and some hearty mexican food. I recommend the chicken enchiladas, and be sure to get their fresh tortillas. The Frontier generally inexpensive and is open 24 hours a day, which makes it fantastic for the Balloon Fiesta.

If you are going to theme parks etc, go to Ponderosa for your breakfast! Its a buffet and it's all you can eat, so fill up and you won't have to eat again til dinner time! Helps avoid ripoff food in the parks...

For a truly shitty experience go to the Inland Center Mall or even worse make your way over to the Carousel Mall. Any real risk taker knows that to really enjoy a city, one must delve themselves into the culture. While making your way to the Carousel Mall, take a stroll on South "E" Street. The cracked streets and beggars are sure to make for a plethora of inspiring vacation photos. Perhaps you'll find an open restaurant or two, but I doubt it. Who needs it anyway? This is the wild west. So snort some meth, take a shot and head down to South "E" Street for a vacation I can promise you'll remember forever.

for aussis travellers heading to usa. first thing to remember is their scale of rating for hotels is very different to aus hotels.. a 4 star hotel their is about a 1 here. as in we stayed at a so called 4 star resort right near disneyland.. and were supposed to have a continental breakfast.. it ended up being 1 coffee and 1 iced donut that had to be colelcted from front office. they dont have bar fridges in most hotels and u have to get ice. some hotels are not very helpful. so get plenty of advice and choose wisely. for attractions dont miss Knotts Berry Farm its a great day out adn to be honest preferred it to over commercialised Disneyland. women do NOT travel alone. and dont flash your money around alot. i was told that if i need to get money out of my wallet to go into toilets and do it. but thats abit over the top. Check out some of the larger malls such as i think its called South Mall in Los Angelos. its huge and lots of good bargins. If u have a multi day pass to Disneyland try and do all the other sightseeing first and leave Disneyland to last.. that way if you want to go back and pick up things you can. WE had no coffee or tea even toast making facilities in room.. couldnt even keep milk in with us as nothing to store it in as no bar fridge.. so very ahrd to make simple things to eat.. eating out all the time is costly.. try not eat before or after going to theme parks as the food there is over the top in prices.. for something different try Medievil times it was a fantastic night of knights in shinging armour.. jousting and falconry.

the beach , woman ahhh , the waves . blue water, sandy beaches ,,, sunsets ,mountains n much much more...

You'll never know what deals you'll find at the Lost Luggage Store unless you stop in!

Airliner Pizza; George's for Beer and Burgers

Great city, many fun attraction, good shopping, nice friendly people. Attractions: boeing factory, space needle, eastern washington wineries. best western underneath the space needle good / central hotel. pike market, indian art.it can be rainy

Cabot Cheese! Visit the factory... it is a little bit out of the way... but the drive is beautiful. They let you sample just about as much as you want of any of the cheeses they make. There is a gift shop where you can purchase cheese (obviously) and lots of other locally produced things.Try the Kickin' Cow Cola... great locally produced soda pop from the Vermont Sweetwater company.
