I have 5 free days between my tour and TRB, initially I was putting my disney time in there but then that changed, then I thought I would go back to Orlando and just spend some extra time at WWOHP.... re think again and possibly lying on a beach in Cancun and chilling out for the time.
So whats the problem, I have no idea what I want to do. Nothing is making me feel like yes this is what I want to really do. I just am feeling so lost at the moment with what it is I want to do. I am not in a hurry to book but I would like some idea of a back up plan incase nothing jumps out at me closer to the date.

Eastern Discovery
Next up was Contiki so where does contiki take me, all the way down the eastern coast line to New Orleans.
So starting in NYC we stop off in Philli and Annapolis before settling in Washington DC for 3 nights. I am really looking forward to Washington, being an election year and being close to the white house, I am hopeful I may get to see a political rally.
I am also looking forward to getting down to the south, seeing the charming streets in Savannah , Raleigh, Charleston and St Augustine. The southern food should be interesting, though not to sure if I am ready to extend my tastes to Alligator but I won't say never, but highly unlikley.
Miami should be fun, walking along South beach, seeing little Havana and experiencing some of the Cuban culture which has its own little pocket in Miami. This is all before moving on to Orlando and Orlando means one thing.... HARRY WORLD!!! Oh and probably Universal City Walk... which should make for a fun night!
New Orleans is my last stop on this tour, every person I have asked both within the US and who has visited the US where I need to go, New Orleans has been top of the list. I am told there is no place like it, its amazing, beats to its own drum, and its just a great all round experience. I am lucky that I get some extra time there as its where my cruise departs from.

What the trip is shaping up to look like
The following is where I have booked to go so far, I still have a few days where I have no idea what I am going to do or where I am going to be. Also hoping to fit in a trip to Fresno to meet Alana and her little mini me as well.

The Beginning
Boston or Canada. Possibly add in some time in Montreal and Quebec ... still working on the finer details.
So taking off from Feb 4th
Feb 1st - Feb 10th NYC!!!!!!!!! Probably the part of the trip I am most excited about, my own time to just wander New York City and do as I please. I do have a lot I want to do, though not to sure it will all get done, but hey that just means I need to go back sooner rather than later (comic con 2013 - isn't that right Carls?)
Things that are must do:
See the statue of liberty - it looks like the crown tours are closed when I am there, so hopefully I will go visit liberty Island and Ellis island, at the very least I will take the free ferry that gives you amazing views of the statue and the city skyline.
Broadway show - Not sure what one, or which ones to see, but it is high on my list to take in a show on broadway, there looks like being a lot of options so it is just a matter of trying to work out what ones appeal and which one will suit.
Carlo's Bakery - A trip to jersey, cake boss a show I love from the food network, so going all the way to NYC wouldn't be complete without this side trip, and hopefully some yummy cake tasting as well. Whilst I am in Jersey I may also try and track down the "stash" jay and silent bobs secret one that is. Though if the tv show pilot they filmed there picks up, it might be too popular by then.
Empire State Building and Rockerfella - No brainers really, two of the major icons, I guess I should add in Yankees stadium and Madison Square Garden oh and whilst I am at it TIMES SQUARE oh and Central Park ... see how these things just keep growing, each time you think you have it all covered there is just more and more to see.
MOMA and Guggenheim not hugely into art, but am so interested in checking these galleries out.
There are also so some tours on my list, and some lovely people I am looking forward to running around with, not to mention some restaurants *cough* serendipity *cough* and stores I can't wait to shop in and wander around.
Next up contiki .... all the way to New Orleans Louisiana
