Joe's interests are American history, maritime/space/flight museums, military history, tech history, nature, music, and some theater. My interests are prehistory, ancient history, archaeology, some colonial history (Williamsburg was cool if touristy, for instance), seeing the sights in NYC, and visiting friends. That last one won't work so well since everyone is working during the week, I know. :)

jalabert has suggested Southstreet Maritime Museum with its Tall Ships, shopping, and restaurants. It's also close by Wall Street, which I understand is where Europeans first started building NYC. She said I should try to map out a walking tour down there and I think that would be an EXCELLENT thing for us to do. I think it caters to both of us.

I'm planning to put together 3 packages for Joe to choose amongst - museums, nature, and museum/nature. I was completely blown away by the beauty and charm of Western NJ last year. I could happily spend all our time up there just touring around small towns and enjoying the fall weather. Once he got there, I know Joe would like it, too. So, really, I'm open to a HUGE range of things. That's always my problem. There's so much to choose amongst.

As usual, I'm going to assemble a bunch of plans and Joe is going to refuse to have an opinion. I just know it. So then it'll be which of the three most appeals to me. :)
