Thanks Rick. There was another thread that gave some interesting things to see in New York, but none of these came up.
I am mostly working out accommodation at present. The only place that I have decided an itinerary for is Washington. Will visit the Air and Space Museum, Natural History Museum, The Library of Congress, The Naval Observatory Library and a couple of other museums.
My major emphasis is on the Air and Space Museums, in the National Mall and the Steve Hazy Centre in Virginia.
One problem I have encountered in Washington is rather annoying and that is you cannot hire a car on a weekend, after midday or drop it off on a Sunday. The national tourist attraction and you can't easily get around. There is no public transport to the Steve Hazy Centre. There used to be a shuttle service from the air and space museum in the national mall to the Steve Hazy Centre, but due to budget cuts it is no longer in service. A car is the only way to get there or a $150 taxi fare there and back
