The book that we bought is called ‘The Freedom Trail:Boston. We purchased it on EBay and it is easy to find.
I really recommend it as it is pitched about right with no, what would be for us, excessive detail. We ‘Whalewatched’ last year out of Monterey. It was calmish, the boat was big enough that it didn’t roll about and we loved it. You can see some piccies and information on how it went on my trip report, ‘California N to South at Easter’. We are going on a similar boat this time. There is an image of the actual boat on my pre trippie ‘Planes Trains and automobiles’. Seasickness was not an issue. We visited the Panhandle the year before. It was very different to the normal gulf coast as experienced by People who tie it in to Orlando. We flew in to Atlanta, then onwards to Pensacola airport before picking up our car and then staying at the Margaritaville Hotel on Pensacola Beach. From there we visited the Naval Aviation museum and also USS Alalabama at Mobile (40 minutes away). We then drove to Destin and stayed behind the Henderson State park, a lovely beach. We then drove to Tampa (450 miles) and stayed the night, visiting Busch Gardens at rope drop before driving on to our Orlando villa. (We figured that passing through rather than a 60 mile each way return journey gave us back 60 miles). After 10 days in Orlando doing Orlando things, we then drove to Daytona Beach for the day (really interesting) before flying home from Daytona Beach. In Atlanta once more. It was great fun, but that 450 mile journey wasn’t so good. With hindsight we should have stopped for the night at Dunellon and travelled the Rainbow River before moving on next morning to Tampa. Hope it helps for your forthcoming.. and next vacation.

Make sure you sit on the left of the train to New York. That way you'll get the coast views! We did NY to Boston and loved the journey.

My absolute favourite thing in Boston was going to see a Red Sox game. We are not sports fans at all at home but made sure we knew the basics of the rules by watching a few youtube videos before we left home.
The atmosphere and peculiarities of the occasion were very entertaining. Sadly the Red Sox lost that evening after having had a winning streak. Great evening. |

We visited the Reagan one, just north of LA in the Simi Valley. That also was absolutely brilliant.
