I missed out on attending the AVNs this year, but don’t worry America – I’m coming for you! Yes, that’s right guys. I’m coming to America. But I need your help planning my trip this time. I’ll be heading over to Phoenix, L.A. and San Diego and I need suggestions for things to see, food to eat and anything else you can throw at me!
Here’s the quick plan
- Land in America in time to attend Phoenix Forum 2017 which starts on March 22nd
- Be in Phoenix until end of convention March 26th
- Hire a car
- Drive to L.A.
- Spend around 1 week in L.A. on press tour
- Drive to San Diego
- Visit the RealDoll factory
- Spend a few days in San Diego
- 1 week of unplanned stuff around San Diego/ L.A.
What I want to do is get as much information about the three places I’m going to, and then set some twitter polls to get you guys to help me decide what to do. I want to share this trip with everyone as much as possible, so I’ll be trying my best to include you in as many things as I can. Of course the whole trip will be documented with photos and videos that I’ll be posting on twitter as well as my website.
Phoenix
I have no idea what to do in Phoenix. I know it’s a big city, and it was briefly mentioned in the Twilight series (yes, I read that). Is the weather hot? Is there any major attraction I should check out? Local delicacies?
Most of my time in Phoenix will be spent at the Phoenix Forum convention, and adult conference that focuses more on the business side of things. I’m not sure what to expect from it, but I think I’ll still have free time in the evenings. Do you have any recommendations on good places to eat around the Tempe Mission Palms Hot?
Honestly guys, I have no idea about anything to do with Phoenix, so I’m going to need as much help here as possible!
Los Angeles
I’ve been once before, although briefly. This time when I’m coming to America, I want to see more of it. I did the whole Hollywood thing last time, and I managed to hit up and In’n’Out burger place (which I will be doing again for sure!) and I also went to Umami burger.
I’m not sure what sort of food L.A is famous for? I really want to try a Korean BBQ as I’ve never been to one before though! Otherwise, other famous American dishes I can’t get in Europe (at least, not easily)
As for attractions, I want to spend one day at the beach. I’m hoping the weather is really nice. Are there are must-see places in L.A? Museums maybe? What about the best places to go if you’re a geek like me?
San Diego
Another city I know nothing about. Other than San Diego Comic Con, which is a legendary event I haven’t had the honour of attending yet. But for the home city of the biggest geek convention in the world, there must be some pretty amazing places to visit right?
Of course I’m not limited to only geeky things. So what’s the deal guys? Where’s the place to be, and the food to eat in San Diego? I have it on good authority that there’s a good Vietnamese community around these parts, and I’ve love to eat some Vietnamese food!
Non city specific things I would like to do
- Eat Korean BBQ
- Try a “food challenge” of some sort
- Visit a fair
- Visit an arcade
- Get my picture taken with a someone famous
- Get my picture taken with a shark or dinosaur
- Go swimming
- See the Grand Canyon
- Visit and All-you-can-eat sushi place
- Visit Sanrio headquarters
- Meet a cowboy
Have I missed anything? Please comment below or send me tweets on ideas for me! I’m so excited, I can’t wait for us to come up with the ULTIMATE AMERICA TRIP!
