Vito,
That's wonderful. I can imagine how exciting it is for you.
As far as where to go, much depends on what you are interested in seeing/doing. I assume you'll be on the Eastern portion of the States??? Do you prefer big cities or small cities, touristy things or do you want just a layback type vacation? Any particular things and/or sites you want to see? Lord knows there are enough people here from all over that can probably guide you to a degree. Not a stupid question at all. How long will you be in the States?
