Sorry, this got buried in messages. I saw it again when I was going through to clear out my inbox! I've been to the USA four times; 1995, 2004, 2008 and 2013. Dragoncon in Atlanta (where I also visited Florida to see Canaveral space centre), Boston Worldcon, Denver Worldcon and San Antonio Worldcon. It's impossible to cover those trips in a short message (g) as I moved around a fair bit as well as those focus points. I have friends in Denver whom I visited each time, no matter where else I was headed and also a couple of times people in California. The train trips were fantastic - well, the times I had a sleeper, they were. The USA was just so....big. Snow capped mountains from the train windows in midsummer! Oh, and I also went to Washington twice to visit the Smithsonian. Those were sort of pilgrimages.
