However it sounds like you maybe want to do something _cool_ or different.. and nothing is better than a cross country road trip.
If I were you I would spend some time in California.. take in LA and San Diego and all the cool stuff they have to offer (Hollywood, Disneyland, Great clubs and nice beaches). Then rent a car and drive up the coast and do some camping in Oregon where are you bound to see some cool wild life and meet some cool people. Speed through Washington, climb Mount Baker if you have time. Hit Vancouver for some great Sushi and even greater and friendlier people. Then finish by taking a ferry to Vancouver island. Hit up a little known surf town called Tofino. The surfing is cold but there are tons of beaches, nature trails, and inexpensive tours to ocean caves, whale watching, and hot springs. Its lots of fun.
