@LaceyLady Yeah, I know, do I know how to pick long bus rides or what? :p I will probably have two 2-day bus rides and several 1-day. It will be very long, but I suppose it's a decent way to see the country & save on lodging 
My aunt lives in a suburb of Phoenix & works full time, so hopefully if I stop there I can stay on a weekend so we can actually go somewhere. Thanks for the AZ recommendations!!
@LaterBloomer Well, it isn't actually me being afraid of NYC, it's my mother
She's opposed to me taking this trip in the first place, so I'm trying to compromise just enough to keep my conscience appeased :p I totally agree about the inappropriate fears thing; I have a pathological paranoia of eye injuries, but serial killers are just plain interesting... unless of course they are injuring people's eyes, then they're just terrifying
Thanks for the NY resources! & I love DC, my brother lives there, so I will definitely consider spending a few nights at his place. But he lives in Centreville, too far past the last train stop to get there myself, so that would take some working out. Anyway, DC is the best city for free stuff =D
