From the classic Autumnal kaleidoscope in deepest New England to the vibrancy of a three or four night shopping break in New York on the run up to Christmas, there really is an endless list of possibilities.
From the colonial history of Boston and Philadelphia to Washington's superb museums and government buildings to the golf courses and beaches of the Carolinas, there is so much to do and so much to see one visit is not enough.
