Introducing USA
The playwright Arthur Miller once said that the essence of America was its promise. For newly arrived immigrants and jet-lagged travelers alike, that promise of America can take on near mythic proportions. America is a land of dazzling cities, towering coast redwoods, alpine lakes, rolling vineyards, chiseled peaks, barren deserts and a dramatic coastline of unrivaled beauty. And that’s just California! <SCRIPT language='JavaScript1.1' SRC="http://ad-emea.doubleclick.net/adj/N5229.273612.LONELYPLANET-AMEX/B5545028.2;abr=!ie;sz=300x250;ord=7085429?"> </SCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT> <A HREF="http://ad.doubleclick.net/click%3Bh%3Dv8/3ba8/3/0/%2a/n%3B247531153%3B0-0%3B0%3B56849527%3B4307-300/250%3B44587843/44605631/1%3B%3B%7Eokv%3D%3Bctt%3Dnorth-america%3Bcnty%3Dusa%3Btnm%3Doverview%3Btile%3D3%3Bsz%3D300x250%3B%7Esscs%3D%3fhttp://ad-emea.doubleclick.net/jump/N5229.273612.LONELYPLANET-AMEX/B5545028.2;abr=!ie4;abr=!ie5;sz=300x250;ord=7085429?"> <IMG SRC="http://ad-emea.doubleclick.net/ad/N5229.273612.LONELYPLANET-AMEX/B5545028.2;abr=!ie4;abr=!ie5;sz=300x250;ord=7085429?"

Look more closely, and the American quilt unfurls in all its surprising variety: the eclectic music scene of Austin, the easygoing charms of antebellum Savannah, the ecoconsciousness of free-spirited Portland, the magnificent waterfront of San Francisco, and the captivating old quarters of New Orleans, still rising up from its waterlogged ashes.
This is a country of road trips and great open skies, where four million miles of highways lead past red-rock deserts, below towering mountain peaks, and across fertile wheat fields that roll off toward the horizon. The sun-bleached hillsides of the Great Plains, the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest and the scenic country lanes of New England are a few fine starting points for the great American road trip.
