My Trips to the USA
		April 1999 My frist trip to the USA was in April 1999. I visited my brother in Californina. At that time he was working in the Silicon Vally near San Francisco. I visited the famous Cable Car in SFO, the Rock, the Lombard street, and many more sights. I used my brother's car to drive down to Los Angeles and then to Las Vegas for a little gambling.   July 2002 My wife and I made a trip to the USA in July 2002. Our destinations and highlights were: Zion National Park Bryce Canyon National Park Grand Canyon National Park (North Rim) Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park Yosemite National Park Las Vegas: the capital city of gambling San Francisco: the City with the Golden Gate bridge Los Angeles: Universal Studios, Hollywood Bvld., Sunset Bvld, the beaches For planning our trip, I used the website of Rand McNally, especially to calculate distances and driving times.   October 2004 I have been on a 2 day business trip to Dallas, Texas. I haven't seen Dallas itself.   Future For a trip in the future, i have to get a new passport first. So far, I have not planned to go back to the US again, but maybe we will visit friends or relatives one day ... Boston in automn 2005 might be worth a trip.
