Thanks for sharing those with us ptrikha21. They sound like great places to visit. Unfortunately with the increased restrictions and legal issues faced by visitors to the US people are becoming more wary of visiting there as a tourist.

I've heard stories of Irish people being refused entry or even worse being detained in the US, as a result of minor issues they had many years ago.
