alot of the areas mentioned so far seem interesting--i'd go..maybe i will at some point.
new england i know about, though: i'm partial to the coastal areas, which seem to have interesting mixes of uptightness and quirk--and if you get bored, the coastline is itself quite lovely. northern new hampshire and vermont is an alternate surreal little universe--as is upstate in maine. when i was younger, i spent alot of time in all these areas, often in the context of road trips. my favorite would take you through maine to new brunswick and past to nova scotia. though there is much to recommend quebec....it's hard to say. lots of options, though i wouldn't treat the u.s. as a discrete space. think in terms of regions up here. it's much stranger that way.
