In reply to Gromley Underhill (msg # 185):
Gaming and Comics store, that's a good idea. At least to see how it feels to stay in this kind of store for a moment even if I don't buy anything.
Also, good point about the Natural History museum and planetarium. I might add that to the list because this is the kind of places that interest us. :)
New York Museums are world class. On rough NYC-Florida axis, the only places that's absolutely worth stopping is Washington D.C. For example, if you're into planes the Air and Space museum is literally out of this world (though the USS Intrepid is in New York, and Fantasy of Flight is an hour outside Orlando). The rest is a lot of suburbia and hills. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine place to live (I live there), but I wouldn't spend time seeing it.
Bus travel in the US is often aggressively budget. For NYC-DC, the train is an option (I believe Acela is the nicest one), and the train stations are more centrally located than either airport. Otherwise, passenger trains in the US are very spotty. Best to fly-and remember America is big. NYC-Orlando is 1070 miles.
