Impending Visit to the East Coast

So next month my family and I will be embarking on a trip to the US. What's different is that this time around we'll be spending it travelling to the East Coast rather than spending or entire vacation in San Diego, where all is familiar and most of our relatives reside. Part of our itinerary is to go to New York, New Jersey and Washington. Since I'll be bringing my little netbook along for the ride, I'll  probably be posting some reports of my trip as they pass if fatigue has not plagued me from all the walking I foresee.
