This is from this weeks TV Guide:

They start in Brooklyn, but are directed to go to a camping store nearby first.

-They then travel to a park in Pennsylvania where George Washington made his famous crossing of the Delaware river. They have to get in a boat with a George Washington reenactor and cross the river to get a replica of the original stars and stripes.

-after that, they spend the night outdoors camping (thats what the camping store trip was for)

-the next morning they have a Detour based on the Amish:

-They can build a mini barn with a water wheel OR

-They can haul a buggy over a 1 and a half mile course (the buggy weighs 500 pounds, and at least one team has to switch tasks because of it)

_there seems to be no Roadblock, as they then go to the pitstop afterwards.

Actually that same article also states:
"And the show, which kicks off in New York city this week, will go to more than 50 cities (including stops in two countries the race has never gone to before) over 25 days..."
So they will at least go to several countries- but they did also state that they will be taking advantage of the US more. Typically only the very beginning and the very last leg are in the US. I have also seen Phil interviewed and he also inferred that while they would be using the US more, they will in a race "aroundtheworld".
As far as kids go there are only two teams with small kids.
Also co-exec producer Elise Doganieri is qouted in the article about roadbloks, yields, etc:
"We still have our Detour, Roadblock, Fast forward, Yield," she says. But the challenges may vary based on how many people are required to participate."
So what does this all mean? It just means I'll have to watch before I pass judgement.

Maybe at least they will hit all of North America instead of just the US... we shall see.

But they have been in Canada before so there must be another one as well.

I've also heard Belize, and (Panama? or maybe Peurto Rico? Can't remember which.) But I know I've heard they go through Belize.

part of what makes (made) TAR so great is the exotic locations.

This is gonna be one boring season if they stay in North America only.
