Voting Question: I want to visit the U.S after I graduate (probably in February, before uni starts), but...?

I want to avoid San francisco. My Aunty and grandfather lives in San Francisco, and my Aunty, Uncle and cousin immigrated there not long ago and they're just settling in. My cousin, being the a very spoilt boy (he's 21 or 22) and being an only child cause of the one child policy in China, gives me attitude. The numerous times I've visited china a couple of years ago, he has not made any attempt to talk to me. I use to get along with my aunty (who just immigrated to the US) very well. Now, when my mum makes me talk to her, it seems so awkward. My cousin, being dopey, giving me (and probably everyone) attitude, needed an English name. I, being friendly (over the phone), offered names like Oliver, Vincent, Peter, Alexander, Matthew.. because they suit him and don't seem that common. And he rudely showed no interest in what I suggested. (Wish I can tell him to go F*ck himself). He's the reason why I chose not to immigrate to America. I love my cousins who I live with here in Australia. They're from my dad's side and they understand me. I grew up with them and it would be hard for me to leave them so I rejected my aunty's offer of organising me immigrate there. Now, i just don't want to see him and i've been wanting to go to the U.S for a holiday before I start the next stage of my education. By the way, I'm from Australia and I'm 17. What should I do? If I go to America, relatives would expect me to go to San Francisco. Should I just go to other places other than San Francisco? I'm thinking New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando and probably Miami. How can I do this? What excuse can I give to not go to San Francisco? Also, can you recommend other cities I could visit? Thanks catmandu, I was thinking of those cities too. My friend went to San Diego and all i talk about is shop. My mum went to San Francisco, doesn't sound fun from what I heard...cause of boring ass relatives.... Read More »
