Hey Peter
Have been to the US a couple of times. Minimal astro stuff as I was with the SWMBO, but a couple of things.
The Air and Space Museum in DC is awesome. They have 2 sites, one on the mall and another out at Dulles airport I believe. You can easily spend a full day at the one in the mall so allow a couple of days if you want to do it properly.

The Mall in DC is full of museums, The Natural History and American History museums I can heartily recommend, both are excellent.
Yosemite is great, stunning scenery, but can get very busy.

How about Mt Wilson? If you have a few $$$ to spare you can book observing sessions on the 60" there, they are doing the same with the 100" but not sure when that starts.

Good luck with the plans

Malcolm
