We also got in touch with veteran traveler and blogger Jon Miksis to learn a bit more. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to comment your own thoughts and ideas below.

Don't go to Hollywood expecting something. Also, don't spend tons of money just to see famous people's homes on one of those bus tours. You should go to all the cool museums around LA though, those are pretty neat. And the beaches aren't too bad either

Hawaii here -- don't go to Sandy beach, don't stick your head in the blowhole, don't go to toilet bowls. We have far too many people die here while on vacation.
