As I was thinking about my travel year for 2017 and reflecting about my 2016 year-end review, I thought that I should spend a little more time in the good ole\u2019 USA in 2017. Starting out the year, my first trip will be to Yellowstone, Montana and then to Lake Charles, Louisiana for Mardi Gras, so I have a good USA start. Planning the rest of the year, I wanted to find the best places to visit in the USA in 2017. Being on the road so much, I meet a lot of mega-travelers, so I asked travel writers, bloggers, and photographers that I have met along the way what their best travel recommendations in the USA are. I will start first with one of my favorite cities in the USA:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Places to Visit in the USA in 2017&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>New Orleans, Louisiana<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_15901\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15901\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15901\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_6943.jpg\" alt=\"Come along with Gnational Gnomad and world traveler Cacinda Maloney when gathers up the best places to visit in the USA in 2017.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"735\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15901\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Cacinda Maloney<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There is nothing quite like the atmosphere the moment you arrive in downtown New Orleans.
