Boston
Walk the Freedom Trail in Boston. It takes you everywhere you want to go, including the North End, which has the best Italian food in the world. The gelato is to die for. Other stops include Paul Revere’s house, the Old North Church, Faneuil Hall, Old Ironsides (U.S.S. Constitution), and Bunker Hill. The tour of U.S.S. Constitution is really neat. Faneuil Hall is where everyone goes to meet, shop, and hang out. (Lots of street theater and other interesting things.)

There is a real interesting museum at Harvard. They have a botanical collection reproduced in blown glass. It’s pretty amazing. Take a walk around the campus and Harvard Square.

Boston cream pie and Parker House rolls were created at The Parker House Hotel. Stop by for dinner. BTW you can order dinners rolls to go and they sell slices of the pie in the gift shop.

I personally prefer the northeast–you can start in ny, then head to boston and then a little further up into maine–that way you would see some great large cities plus some really quaint and fun coastal new england towns..the best part is that manhattan to portland maine is only a distance of about 300 miles so you wouldnt have to do much traveling in between places

First off, thanks for your service, you deserve a break. Check with the travel and tours office before going anywhere. It always puzzled me why everyone classes the East coast as everything from DC up.
