The Ultimate James Bond USA Trip
Here's a trip that James Bond wouldn't have the time for. But if you do, your Bond girl will never forget it. "She'll be catching her breath for six months."
Start in Orlando for a few days at DisneyWorld and get a hotel near "Downtown Disney" or at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Then take AmTrak from there overnight to Philadelphia.
From the Philadelphia train station rent a car (with a navigational system) and drive to Atlantic City to sea the boardwalk, the Atlantic and gamble a little. There's not too much else to do besides gamble and eat, so after 3 hours head off to Lancaster county to see the Amish locations via a tour that leaves the visitor's center.
Next drive southwest passing through the Gettysburg civil war battle field and monuments. Drive through Tennessee ending up in Memphis. Stay at "Heartbreak Hotel" (small, but convenient) and tour Elvis' Graceland. Go down to Dallas and visit the book depository museum were JFK was shot and "JFK" was filmed. Stay at the North Dallas Hilton next to the Galaria Mall.
Next, head to Albuquerque and stay at the Sheraton Old Town Hotel. Shop and eat at old town. Don't miss the "Rattlesnake Museum". Small, but creepy
Then it's up to Monument Valley where the only place to stay is Gouldings Lodge. Drive to the visitor's center where you can hire a Native American to take you by jeep to see the sights. But I prefer to use my own car and enjoy the sights on my own.
Next drive down to the Grand Canyon and stay at one of the rim hotels as mentioned before. Then down to Flagstaff and back track 30 miles to see the Meteor Crater. Yes, it's just a big whole, but it also has an interesting museum and there's a Subway sandwich shop there for a quick bite.
Next it's on to Las Vegas by driving over the Hoover Dam, where you can take a 20 minute interior dam tour and ride the paddle boat on the very blue Lake Mead for some "Planet of the Apes" type scenery. It looks similar to the Lake Powell location where
Heston crash landed his spaceship.
From Vegas, stop over a few minutes at the California stateline and see the "Bonnie and Clyde Car" at the Primm Casino Mall. Be forewarned, it's not the movie car. It's the real thing, as is Clyde's death shirt. There's a Fashion Outlet mall there, for your girl to shop and you can ride "The Desperado", which premiered in 1994 as the worlds tallest, steepest and longest steel coaster.
Next, hit the Los Angeles attractions. Stay at the Disney Pier Hotel. See Disney's two parks, Knott's Berry Farm, and the Movieland Wax Museum. Then stay a night at the Universal Hilton and visit the studio attractions.
After surviving the Jurasic Park dinosaurs, drive North toward San Francisco, stopping at the small Scandinavian town of Solvang for some quick eating, shopping, and gambling (at the Chumash Indian Casino).
Next stop is Monterey where you can sleep at the Doubletree Hotel next to Fisherman's Warph and go whale watching the next morning. Just 15 minutes from there is Carmel. Park and walk down Ocean Ave to see the shops and end up at the beach. Then back up to your car and on to Santa Cruz to ride the Giant Dipper at the Beach Boardwalk. Find the Bazookas that shoot baseballs at targets and blast a few.
From there it's 90 minutes to San Francisco. Stay at the Fisherman's Warph Hilton for a few days. Don't miss the 45 minute bay cruise, the cliff house, and Chinatown. The "motorized cable car" tours near the pier have great 90 minute and 3 hour tours. After that turn in your rental car at the airport and fly home, knowing you surpassed any trip James Bond has been on.
You can do this trip in sections or in one long glorious adventure. If you need more detailed suggestions, email me via my web site.
