Part depends on when you come. In summer, the southern part of the US is very hot--be sure to have air conditioning in the car. Also, from where are you starting? You might want to give more information as the US is too large to hit it all in 2 weeks.

Arizona and Utah are absolutely beautiful. The mountains in these two states have spectacular views. In Arizona, there is Tuscon and the giagantic cactus, Sedona, The Grand Canyon, Painted desert and many other natural beauties. In Utah, there is Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon. If you want a totally different view, I am from Florida and Northwest Florida has sugar white sandy beaches. The US has many different types of land formations, you need to decide what you want to see and plan around that. Do you want mountains, beaches, amusement parks, or what? The Smokey Mountains in Tennessee are nice...totally different from the mountains out west in Arizona.

Antonio, if you tell us a little bit more about your plans we can help you more.
Are you interested in scenery, history and culture, sports, cities. Where in the U.S. will you start? If you fly into New York, I would suggest a couple of days to see the United Nations, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and a Broadway Show. Some shows are mostly music and don't require fluent English. Then head to Philadelphia for a beautiful historic part of the city with the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Also visit a submarine. Next drive to Washington, our most beautiful city for all the monuments, the Air and Space Museum and other parts of the Smithsonian. Then drive through Virginia to see Williamsburg for living history.
As another choice, if you can land somewhere in the western U.S., the scenery out there is fantastic. Try to visit the Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion parks in Utah and possibly Rocky Mountain National Park. These places are far apart and may be more driving than you want. A good starting point might be Denver, Colorado, or Phoenix, Arizona.

You could spend you whole two weeks in just one small area of the US. If I only had two weeks then I would go to California. There you can see it all. Great cities ( San Francisco, etc. ), Seashore, Mountains, spectacular scenery, desert, etc. I have lived in California for 25 years and haven't seen it all yet. Seen 90% but still lacking a couple of places.
