So my girlfriend and I have been tossing up between Europe and the US for a while now. Our battle for holiday motives has been sports (FC Barcelona & the Cavs) VS summer (she doesn't want to go in the winter - beach, tan, relaxation etc.). I was going to head to Europe first and visit the US in a couple of years (as I've got a bunch of friends in a few different states I'd like to visit via my music networking) but given the highly unlikely and ultimately perfect events of the last month in the basketball world, I simply couldn't miss an opportunity to visit Cleveland while this is all unraveling in it's prime.
So here's where we want to go (in a rough order):
Cleveland--> New York-->Vegas --> LA --> Disneyland --> (possibly) Hawaii.
I want to spend a couple of days in Cleveland (catch a game [or 2], visit downtown etc., head to New York for 4-5 (?) days, Vegas for maybe 2-3 days (as we're really only going for the experience), head to LA for 4-5 <?> days, Disneyland for 4-5 (?) and Hawaii at this point is 50-50 giving us a total of about 3 and a half weeks or so.
I've been to the US before (8 years ago) so have a rough idea of what to do/see and where to go, but I'm sure your recommendations and advice will be of extra assistance.
Basically, I'd like to know:
- Where you would recommend to visit as a tourist
- What attractions to see
- What we can do without etc. etc. Especially in Cleveland
- What hotels you might recommend staying in
- The ease of getting Cavs tickets in advance
- AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, what time of the year we should go. I was thinking early March of next year so that I can be back home in time for the playoffs, missing the last 3 weeks of the season (which will arguably be the least important). Of course the ideal thing would be to travel to Cleveland during the playoffs and be able to experience it all in the city, but unfortunately realism trumps my pipe dreams!
My girlfriend's cousin works for an airline who can get us super cheap tickets so we're planning on taking advantage of it as best as possible!
Anything else that I haven't mentioned that you might be able to think of would be incredibly welcomed.
Thanks in advance, guys! I would really appreciate all your assistance!
