Read an Excerpt

If the United States has one defining quality, it's variety. This vast area of some 3.6 million square miles it's 2,500 miles (4,025 km) from New York to Los Angeles, and that again to Hawaii has something for everyone. Although TV, suburban sprawl, strip malls, and chain restaurants have a homogenizing effect, America hasn't yet become a monolithic place. Each region still speaks with its own accent, enjoys its own favorite foods, and has its own political and social attitudes. Indeed, foreign travelers often go away with the impression that we aren't one nation but an amalgam of 50 little countries. Whatever you want to see, do, or eat, you're likely to find it within the vast and diverse confines of the United States of America.

What's Here & What's Not

It's not easy to boil down the essence of such a huge, varied, complicated country. No doubt, some of you will look at the table of contents and raise an eyebrow about what's missing. That's sure to be the case with any guide professing to cover the entire United States.

This book doesn't pretend to be comprehensive. It's simply not possible to cover every great destination in the country in one usable volume. So we concentrated on a select group of destinations that will appeal to a wide cross-section of road-trippers, foreign visitors, and business travelers. This way, rather than glossing over lots of destinations with coverage that's broad but an inch deep, we've been able to offer you in-depth, practical coverage you can really use on the road.

Take, for example, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket: We'd love to cover both islands, but we chose to focus on Martha's Vineyard instead. Few travelers have time to visit both, so we used the space to include more detailed and useful information on the Vineyard, which is larger and easier to reach. We've tried to apply the same sort of logic to our destination choices throughout.

In the end, we've come up with a list of destinations that's representative of the very best America has to offer--cities, national parks, beaches, resort areas, and more.

We hope you'll discover your own America as you hit the road and start exploring. If you'd like more coverage of the destinations covered here, or if any of them prompt you to want to explore further if you want to see Nantucket, say, after the Vineyard has charmed you chances are good that we have a more dedicated, in-depth guidebook for you; see the complete list of destinations covered by Frommer's guides at the end of this book. Happy trails!
