         EASTERN USA
==============================

This coastline stretches from
the border with Canada in the
north, southwards along the
Atlantic coast and turns at
the Florida Keys to merge into
the Gulf of Mexico.

There are three main tourist
areas here - New York City,
New England and Florida
itself.

New England is an area
covering the states of
Vermont, Upper New York State,
Maine, New Hamphire,
Connecticut and the
surrounding areas. It is the
oldest settled part of America
by Europeans and is still very
"English" in character. It is
the home of the true Yankees
and many of  America's
"blueblood" families hale from
this part.

Travel to New England is best
from spring through to late
autumn, but the winters can be
very cold.

There are many beautiful
national parklands in the New
England area such as the
Arcadia National Park in
Maine, and some fine colonial
buildings.

The area contains some real
wilderness and some awesome
mountain scenery and is a
popular area for camping and
trailer holidays.
