Traveling to USA

So in about two weeks I will travel to USA for the first time, and I’m really exited! We will land in Chicago, then travel to Fort Worth, New Orleans, Memphis, Washington and then back to Chicago.

I know the route is a bit unusual but since we have some family along the way this is the way it’s going to be.

I have been searching a lot for sites to see along the way. The typical tourist sites are not that hard to find but I would also like to see some of the more of the things that might not be listed in all the tourist guides. Does anyone have any tips for sites that we should not miss? Any nice bars, restaurants, shops, nature spots, etc? Any bands touring in may in these areas in May, local or big?

I would also really like to see some sports but it seems that we will be there in a dead spot for all the sport seasons? Or am I wrong?

I’m so excited for the trip, it will be so great! And hopefully you guys can help me make it even better!

You should visit Cleveland, it's the best city in the U.S.

Love that fucking Vidoe!

It looks like you're going to be a couple days late for Cinco de Mayo. Bummer. 

I'm not particularly interested in sports but when I was in NYC, I went to the baseball a few times and the atmosphere was great. Definitely something worth trying even if the hot dogs are overpriced and the games themselves can be a little slow.

You might be able to catch some baseball... although I recommend that when you get to the US, head North into Canada and have a real party. Young drinking age and alcohol allowed in stripclubs!!! YAY!

In Fort Worth you should definitely eat lunch at Rudy's. It's referred to as "gas station barbecue" because it really is also a gas station, but you'd be hard pressed to find better BBQ - seriously!

Go see a baseball game. The season just started and you should have no problem finding a cheep seat at a Cubs game. zing!

I love that video.
