Hi Graeme,
Thank you and you certainly would not want to miss the chance to
get some observing in. I gather you will be arriving via either LAX
or SFO? What parts of the States did you plan on visiting or had other
commitment to be in whilst there? I may be able to put you in contact
with some fellow observers.
For example one option might be to consider renting some time at Gary
Myers Desert Coyote Observatory down in Sierra Vista in Arizona. It's
close to the Mexican border. See

He has a fully equipped RV on site which can sleep up to 5 and an array
of telescopes for hire.
Best Regards
