Wanted: Travel Advice

[maxcelcat]

Hey all, I'm busy booking a ticket around the wooooooooorld. I'll be in Europe and the US in May and June (er, not in that order...)

Anyway, I've never been anywhere. So, if anyone has any suggestions for things I should see in the following cities, or their surrounds, please comment:

Washington
New York
London
Paris
New York
Geneva
Phnom Pen

In fact, if you have any travel advice of any kind I'd be keen to hear it!!!

Busily looking up locations of various Legolands - there's one in Germany :-)

Washington - HB says you have to walk the Mall, look at the Capitol Bldg, White House, Washington and Lincoln Memorial. He also liked the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, American Natural History Museum and the National Gallery (he was surprised that he enjoyed that!). He also liked the Korean and Vietnam War Memorials (near Lincoln Mem)... but he's History Boy!

I could list a whole stack of things about London, but our dinner's just arrived!

My biggest piece of advice is to do one of those red/big bus tours as soon as you can upon arriving in a city. It helps you get a feel for where things are, you7 should learn about the city, and if you end up not having time to get to a famous attraction, at least you'l have gone past it in the bus!

I'm a politics tragic, so I'll be walking the Mall, looking at the Lincoln Memorial, staring at the Capital and the White House.

Also planning to go to at least two branches of the Smithsonian. And the Vietnam war memorial....
