Hi Mikey,
Good to hear from you.
my advice is travel by train, as they are more comfy & offer more space, walk about, viewing cars, & more economical i think.
places to go would be boston, new york obviously, seattle, san francisco, ottawa ( canada )vancouver.
happy to answer anymore questions....
you will be fine on your own, can do what u want when you want. meet other like minded people. you will have the best time.
talk soon
