I'd like to have two unfettered weeks to spend wandering endlessly in all the Smithsonian museums in DC and the surrounding areas.  Then another week to spend in NYC, doing more of the same. 

I'd also like to go back to the Grand Canyon with more than a day and night to stay - and just sit at the edge of the canyon for several days and watch the light change.
