So, how do you decide

Say you're going to see the USA for the first time - and you are scheduled to come to Washington DC for 2 days, Boston for 6 days and Miami for 6 days - and during those times most of your time is scheduled. That which is not scheduled, you are encouraged not to tour - you have something you're involved in. But, you have a few extra days at the start where (given the proper resources) you can see anything in the country that you want. Of course, you know about the USA - but you do have resources - friends, books, the internet. You do, however, have very limited time to make the decision. And, you understand that when you get here, your knowlege of the language and customs is limited, even though some in your group have been studying.

So how would you decide? Top 10? Top 4? Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Great Lakes, Rockies, Pacific Coast, Gulf Coast, Atlantic Coast, Chicago, LA, New York? Haven't even started to mention other great places e.g. Smokies, New England, NM, AZ, UT, etc.

I'd say you realize your time is limited, that you can't possibly see everything. So you see a bit of city, a bit of nature, a bit of history, etc. I assume you're trying to decide what to see in China?
