LA downtown

LA downtown is huge and dark because of the skylines.

more dirty than i expected but it is what downtown usually does.

i spent just 2 hours in downtown but it left good feelings. 

Trips Across the states.

• Day 1-2: Los Angeles & Las Vegas

  We head out of LA on day one to start our adventure with a sudden burst of neon - Vegas is right in your face - the greatest show on earth. Watch out though, some dub this place 'Lost Wages'! Why not cruise "The Strip" in a super-stretch limo, indulge in an all-you-can eat buffet, take in a show or just watch the amazing crowds and neon signs as the glitzy hotels try to out do each other with spectacular attractions. And if that's not enough, take a helicopter flight back down The Strip or just gamble the night away in one of the world class casinos. Oh, and there's a saying here: what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
  Accommodation: 2 en-route hotel nights paid locally

• Day 3-4: Zion National Park & Lake Powell

  Journey further east to Zion National Park. Explore the hidden canyons or maybe hike to Angels Landing. Okay, so getting up there can be devilish at times, but the famous trail puts on a full 360-degree display of this magnificent national park. Swim the deep blue waters of Lake Powell, formerly the great Glenn Canyon, or just sit back on the shore and soak up the powerful rays of this beautiful and surreal man-made desert oasis.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day 5-6: Grand Canyon National Park

  No trip west is complete without a stop at the Grand Canyon and we have a full day tomorrow to experience the grandeur of one of the Earth's natural wonders. Pack your best boots and don't forget your camera for a sunrise/sunset hike along the rim. For the more ambitious take the long hike down Bright Angel Trail to Plateau Point or choose the "bird's eye" view on a scenic flight. As you watch the sinking sun paint it amber, maroon and red, its breathtaking immensity blow you away.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day 7: Monument Valley

  Venturing further into the desert southwest, we hit iconic Monument Valley, used in countless Hollywood scenes from Westerns to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Get 4x4-bound and flit between towering buttes and massive mesas. This is sacred Navajo land; take home their secrets, legends and the odd handcrafted keepsake. Tonight, experience a stunning sunset overlooking the valley.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day 8: Arizona/Roswell, New Mexico

  A little alien spotting in Roswell could be on the cards today, but with the vast desert stretching out before us, we'll go wherever the mood takes us! If you choose Santa Fe for the night, its sure to work its charm on you with its artsy vibe and the best Mexican food in the USA.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day 9-10: Carlsbad Caverns National Park & Texas

  Do you know your stalactite from your stalagmite? Carlsbad Caverns boasts over 100 limestone caves sporting glinting minerals and telling names like the Hall of the White Giant and Green Lake Room. The Lone Star then bids you a big-hearted welcome for four nights in the mighty Texas. The biggest state of the continental USA is also home to plenty of Mexican-American cuisine, "Tex-Mex", so spicy fajitas and tacos are on the menu tonight.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day 11-12: San Antonio

  Don your Davy Crockett hat and check out the Alamo, symbol of Texan pride and independence from Mexico. Or stroll the Paseo del Rio. If your Spanish is shaky, that's the cobbled 'river walk', bursting with greenery, cafes and boutiques.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day 13: West Texas/Louisiana

  We say farewell to the biggest state of continental USA, and goodbye to the home of 'Tex-Mex' cuisine and a big hello to Louisiana, the home of gumbo stews and all that jazz.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day 14-15: New Orleans

  We hit Louisiana, look for gators on our optional swamp tour through the mysterious bayous of Cajun country (a must do!). Then on to the home of the Big Easy & Bourbon Street, New Orleans. Now we're talking all that jazz! We head into the enchanting French Quarter of New Orleans and hear the real deal at Preservation Hall, echoing with chirpy trumpets and smooth sax. New Orleans has more than just food, drink and music to offer, so after sampling a Hurricane at Pat O'Brien's, do the Huckleberry Finn thing and chug along the Mississippi River.
  Accommodation: 2 nights en-route hotel paid locally

• Day 16: Mississippi/Alabama

  Next, travel into the 'Deep South' to Mississippi and Alabama for a taste of true southern hospitality. License plates proclaim you're in the 'Heart of Dixie', and the radio pumps out a hatful of country tunes to back this up.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day 17-18: Tennessee & Virginia

  In Tennessee, choose to don a lifejacket, grip a paddle and bounce along a churning stretch of white water on an optional rafting trip - pure adrenalin! You'll need no second invitation to appreciate the grand views of the rolling green slopes of the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day 19-20: Washington D.C

  Washington DC, is the social, cultural and political hub of the United States. Explore the best of America's Capitol - from the Smithsonian Museum to the Lincoln Memorial on a guided tour. During the day the city is awash with greenery, so once you're done with sightseeing, go people watching in the parks. Why not take advantage of the great nightlife in Georgetown!
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day 21: New York Area

  Leaving the capital behind we head north through Pennsylvania to the New York Area and the end of our cross country adventure. This tour is not scheduled to spend any time in New York City so make sure you book extra hotel nights and explore the sights and sounds of the Big Apple on your own. Splurge along Fifth Ave, hit the top of the Empire State Building, or soak up the trendy, laidback vibe of Greenwich Village before heading home.
  
  This tour ends at approximately 17:00 hrs.
