DC Absolutely - been there lots of times for work and as a destination there was always something interesting to see or do. The standard of the museums, monuments and other attractions are as good as the best in the world.

SFO area - unique mix of transport, waterfront and attractions with interesting past.

Much like Australia, the USA does not have a long European history - like us you don't have any 400+ year old churches - but we both make good use of our more modern history as a focus for a destination - independance and civil war themes can make any number of places on the east side interesting.
