I think that by just removing a couple of the stops on your trip, you will significantly increase your enjoyment of the whole experience.
I see what you mean, but that is why I planned my "things to-do" to a tee. I tried to keep everything I'd like to see in central location, and going in one direction. It's harder in Washington DC, as it's more scattered, but it was easier with stuff I want to see in New York, as I just start from Statue of Liberty and work my way up towards the Central Park - between them two is more than half of stuff I planned to check out.
I also enjoy walking, and am a very fast paced walker, so I have high hopes to make it to everything I want to. However, you never know... But thanks for the tip! I still want to keep all my stops, as I feel greedy and want to see a lot of the stuff in a very short time!
