Assuming everyone you are travelling with has a US passport I don't think you need visas, unless it's changed recently. As long as you aren't planning on working(!) and you are staying less than...90 days, I think, you're golden.

Nope, we all need visas! Unless I can get my Australian passport sorted out, then I won't! And even little B needed a passport! No more traveling on your parents' passport.

Yay!

All of your goals are very doable. I'll bring the Shock Doctrine - I'll read it before then and you can read it in Oz or on the plane rides.

SMOKED SALMON DIP. That's what I need. Stupid east coast with its stupid lox that I don't like.

My father brought me several pounds of coho and sockeye that he caught and smoked himself. LOVE. Right there.
