Question for all you non-US guys. Have you been to the US? Please select a choice and it would be great if you could make a post with details about your time here (how long, when, what was interesting, etc) or why you are not interested in visiting America. All votes should be accompanied with a post, please.

Especially you guys who post here a lot, don't be shy.

This is in conjunction with a tourism agency that contacted Subsim.

Many thanks, and happy Thanksgiving!

Neal

Been wanting to visit the States since little kid, but has no money for a trip like that.

"No, but I would like to some day in the distant future"

It has crossed my mind a couple of times, exactly where and when is pretty much unknown.

OOPS! Signed on the dotted line before I read all the fine print! I'll admit I'm a sucker and buy that bridge, and then go hide my head in the sand for awhile.

Only if you want a lifetime ban to such places.

Many times in the past for periods up to three months at a stretch. These days though, generally get down to Seattle once or twice a year for three or four days.

Would love to, but would probably have to stay for a while to go to all the places I'd like to go to. Tis a rather big place...and that's just Texas!

Have been there in 2001 for two weeks. Mainly California but we were also in Utah and of course Nevada (Las Vegas).

Well, yes.. I did roughly 6 or 7 times before I permanently relocated to here.

To see my GF (now Wife) was the main purpose. Average stay ca 1 week.

I would like to some day but I think it will be a dream.
Perhaps I should have voted, in a distant future.
