You don't have a lot of time, so maybe just hit one or two good spots per city...

San Francisco - just tour the scenic areas, like Fishermans Wharf and the Golden Gate Bridge area. Ride a trolley car :mrgreen:

LA - Disneyland, Sta Monica Beach, Redondo Beach. Dito pinakamagandang mag-shopping...go to the outlet stores in Ontario and Lake Elsinore

San Diego - Seaworld, US Navy base

Have fun!

WHAT!!! No NYC on your tour?
Ground Zero is a must, IMO.
Chicago to NYC is only 3.5 hour flight. So, think it over with your family.

Good Luck.

tip lang sa interview sa embassy.
a) stay as relaxed as you can. kung medyo fidgetty ka, baka isipin ng consul na meron kang plans mag tnt.
b) remember to bring with you complete proof ng properties mo dito (e.g. title ng house, CR ng oto, bank accounts and other investments. ) also try to get a certificate of employment sa office nyo (kung working ka) . the primary objective here is to let the consul know na may babalikan ka dito and hindi ka mag-titnt dun.

Why three weeks in Chicago? One week is not enough for SF, LA and San Diego. Cut niyo na lang time ninyo sa Chicago. Kung puro adults di lang kayo and you have to choose only Disneyland or Universal Studios, I'd go for Universal Studio. But if you have time for both, mas okey.

One other thing pala, just fly NWA. If I am not mistaken eh may free 10 domestic tickets daw dito. Tanong niyo na lang...

try nyo magpunta sa orlando, malayo nga lang pero sobrang enjoy. 4 disney theme parks, universal, island of adventure, seaworld, sangkatutak na outlet store. kulang 1 week dito.

sandiego zoo puntahan nyo din tsaka yung coronado. meron ding mga historical church sa sandiego.

sa sf, mag tour na din kayo sa carmel/monterey. ok din yung wine tour.

sa LA, katakot dyan :D stroll ka sa hollywood, tapos sa mga beach (santa monica, venice, newport) tsaka pa-picture ka na din sa rodeo drive

chicago, la ako alam dyan, hanggang stopover lang ako sa airport :D

tsikot peeps,
thanks for the reply...

M54, Jesi,
ganoon na nga... 1 week lang doon kasi budget contraint...
taga chicago kasi ang nag-invite sa amin... at gastos nya raw lahat pag-dating doon...
kaya dumaan muna kami sa CA para lubusin ang trip...

sdavis,
bakit nakakatakot sa LA?
yung hipag ko kasi minsan iniwan yung passport nya sa kotse...mga 20 minutes lang, nawala na (nabuksan ang kotse)...
buti pa kako sa Japan, walang magnanakaw...
