My First Trip to America I'll be taking a first trip to the United States from Nov.9th to 23rd. I'm very excited about the trip now. Last Friday I purchased the roundtrip flight tickets from Osaka, Japan to New York via Beijin at 58,800 JPY (=approximately 574 USD). That was incredibly cheap. I'll be staying in a small town of New Jersey during the first 7 to 8 days of the trip. However, I haven't decided where I'm going to visit during the rest of trip. I'll do it until the departure date.

Awesome. I look forward to hearing about the trip. (とても遠く、でもシアトルへ行きませんか?) While you are in New Jersey, will you be able to take trips into Manhattan? I think you will want to spend at least two or three days seeing Manhattan.

Near New York and New Jersey, a good place to visit is Philadelphia. Very interesting place for US history. Washington DC or Boston maybe. Chicago and San Francisco are great cities, but very far from New York.

Specific comments:

* Osaka is well-known enough that I think it's not necessary to say "Japan."

** "Cheap" can have negative connotations, so unless you are being very informal, try using different words. Good alternatives to "cheap" are "low-priced" or "reasonable." But "good price" is a nice, positive way to say 安い.

*** "town of X" implies that the town is named "X." Usually when we talk about a city or town in a specific region, we say "in," but if the region is isolated, like an island, we usually say "on." (For Manhattan - an island, and the main borough (区)  of New York City - it's okay to say either "the best sushi bar in Manhattan" or "the best sushi bar on Manhattan." )

I'll do that before the departure date.
