sdg1871 - Please see my PM.

Thanks again to everyone who responded. I just wanted to give some feedback to let you know I took quite a lot of the advice and used it.

We took the advice to give Canada a miss and went to;

My brother and family near Trenton, NJ.

Lancaster PA (Amish culture)
Front Royal
Appalachian Mountains
Richmond
Colonial Williamsburg
Washington (got very wet at night)
Six Flags
New York City
We did some other stuff with my brother and his family, so it was a busy couple of weeks.

We did eat at the Plain & Fancy restaurant as recommended and it was certainly different (and good).
In general we found some good, plain US style restaurants to be friendly and high quality.
Probably the fanciest spot we went to was the Princetown Grill but it was worth every Dollar and I would recommend it. Great atmosphere both within the restaurant and around the whole area.

Our rental car turned out to be a Dodge Charger with Texas plates.
Nice itinerary.

Glad you enjoyed your visit to the United States and had the opportunity to visit interesting places on this side of the pond.

You may consider Washington, DC and the surrounding area. It's reachable by train as well.
I was going to suggest that, but you beat me to it. Definitely, DC is a must itinerary. A lot of history there.....

1. Never say "cheeky" in the U.S.
2. Go to Vegas
