Assuming that you are flying into NYC, before embarking on your trip to Washington and onto Chicago,

My wife and myself are from Australia and we are looking to drive from New York to Chicago in May. We would like to see Washington. the Amish in Lancaster and then Niagara Falls, Cedar Point and then Chicago. we have 10 days once we leave New York What are the best things to see and have we enough time. I would like to see average USA small towns but the main part of the trip for me is 2 days at Cedar Point. We are not young but to drive 8 hours a day is no problem.
On your route to Niagara, cheap disneyland park tickets stop at the Horseshoe Curve in Altoona, PA. There is an admission fee, but this gives you access to a nice picnic area where you watch the trains go by and admire the engineering of this place.
cheap disneyland park tickets You could also detour here into the New York Finger Lakes region, cheap disneyland park tickets and enjoy a country drive. This area also has a well-established tradition of wineries. For the most part, the favored wines in this area tend towards cheap disneyland park tickets the sweet. But here and there are bottles of drier wines.
Hi we have 13 days to travel from New York to Chicago but we would like to see washington Lancaster, falling waters, Niagra Falls cedar point amusment park then Chicago. We would have allready done 7 days in New york but we do not know if we have enough time to see all the other places as we would like 3 nights in Niagra and I believe 3 days is required in Washington. Does anyone have any suggestion
Your plan looks all very doable, and there are no legs requiring more than about a half day's drive with the exception of the Washington to Niagara leg which will take a full day. So, you've got at most about three days of driving to complete the RoadTrip portion of your vacation leaving you with ten days to see the sights cheap disneyland park tickets along the way. To be honest, I can't imagine what you'd do with three full days in Niagara Falls. Two is really cheap disneyland park tickets plenty to see all the real natural and historic sites. After that, you'd be into tourist kitsch. On the other hand, you could easily cheap disneyland park tickets spend a day each in Washington's Air and Space Museum, walking the Mall, and at the National Zoo. If you can add a day for our nation's cheap disneyland park tickets capital it will be well worth it. A day at Cedar Point in Sandusky and a day touring Amish Country and Gettysburg would still leave you with a couple of spare days, and I'd suggest that you spend them in Cleveland visiting Cuyahoga Valley National Park, their world class Natural History Museum and perhaps the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Assuming that you are flying into NYC, before embarking on your trip to Washington and onto Chicago, just thought I'd mention that it probably is not worth having a rental car in NYC or Washington. Both those cities have good public transport and parking can be difficult to find... and very expensive. It is worth considering taking the train from NYC to DC and renting a car when you are ready to leave DC.
Good to see you devoting more time to Washington. Besides all the attractions AZBuck mentioned, both the Vietnam Memorial Wall and the Holocaust Museum are worth spending time at. For that matter, so are all the Smithsonian institutes. It is hard to walk away from the Vietnam Memorial. At the Holocaust Museum you are required to first watch a video which puts everything into context. (Having lived in Europe during those times, I was not able to continue through to the museum, after watching the video, though my children and spent hours there.)
You don't say where in Oz you are from, but if you are a member of the RACV, NRMA, RACQ or similar, be sure to take your membership with you. It will entitle you to free maps from the AAA. It is good (essential) to have maps in the car, even if it is fitted with a satnav.
Thank you for your reply they have all been very helpful we are going to spend more time in washington now and only 2 days in Niagara. we are going to get the train from NY to DC and then drive the rest we are really looking forward to the drive
Thank you for all the help we are going to stay in New York for a week then catch the train to Washington and see al the sights you have recommended then we are going to hire a one way car rental (don't know which rental company with yet or what size car any ideas) then we are off to Lancaster, Hershey,Gettysburg,Falling water, Niagara Falls, Cedar Point 7 days of driving then Chicago for 3 days, then Las Vegas for a week. If you have any other ideas please send as we are really looking forward to the drive as this prepares us for a much longer one next year hopefully a RV for 6 weeks or so. I love going to the USA it is nearly as good as Australia.
