How's this plan?

Drag, swap or remove stops; times and costs update instantly. Each day is one area, looping from where you stay. Costs are estimates, not live quotes: one room per 2 guests at typical nightly rates for your budget level, typical entry fees, gas at ~$3.50/gal, NYC transit at the $3 fare with OMNY’s $35 weekly cap, and taxi/rideshare estimates where you have no car. No flights or car rental. Hotel and ticket links show today’s real prices. Bookings open on partner sites; we never take payment.
