Addendum to my last reply. In these unsettled times the one place I would avoid at all costs would be any very large city.... NYC, LA, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago.... etc. They are already shitholes full of crime and squalor. But then add some major event that we here think is coming, and shitholes turn into war zones.
There is nothing (IMHO) in NYC worth risking one's life over. A nice drive across the country, or a stay in a serene place would be far preferable to me. Some suggestions.... Springdale, Utah (Zion Nat. Park), the Florida panhandle along the coast, the Outer Banks of North Carolina, western Virginia-North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. There are quite literally hundreds, if not thousands, of such places that offer a better vacation than NYC.

Believe me, I know it. She is stubborn as I am, so I don't see any point in trying to change her mind.
Well then... I have nothing more to suggest. We all make our choices, and then live with those choices.
