Rather than see the whole Yewnited States -- how well could you see all AussieLand in three weeks -- concentrate on one part. Since I know the west coast best, that's what I'd suggest. Start in San Diego to see how the States and Mexican culture are mixing, work your way north to LA for every cliche you've ever heard about California, then up the Central Coast for some camping in Big Sur/Monterey Bay area and maybe a day at the Pinnacles (giant extinct volcano) and some time in the Redwoods. On to the Sf Bay Area/Oakland Berkeley for the people-watching and the scenery (the SF Bay is one of the most beautiful urban settings there is). Get drunk in the Napa Valley Wine Country, then up to Oregon where retired hippies and non-retired Mormons live in harmony, along with some killer coastline, the amazing Crater Lake, and the culturally hip cities that are Ashland, Eugene, and Portland. Then onto Seattle, where I could spent three weeks alone.
It'd be only one part of America, but you'd sure understand the Left Coast when you were done.
