2008: GREAT AMERICAN CITIES BY RAIL (JGA)
8 days
(Rail Getaway)This great adventure will introduce you to the historic cities that shaped America. Start in Boston, the "Athens of America." After your Old Town Trolley tour you will have time on your own. This evening, perhaps enjoy a whale-watching cruise from Boston Harbor. Then relax and enjoy the comfort and service of AMTRAK rail travel en route to the "The Big Apple." From Wall Street's stock exchange to the galleries of SoHo, the sparkling diamond district and the cobblestone streets in the South Street Seaport, New York has something for everyone. Enjoy sightseeing by double-decker bus, allowing you time for independent discoveries. Take the ferry to Ellis Island and view the Statue of Liberty, then take in a Broadway show! Next stop is Philadelphia, the "City of Brotherly Love." Visit many historic sights on your hop-on/hop-off tour of the city. Later, enjoy fine dining at one of Philadelphia's famous eateries or stroll along lively South Street. Your final destination is the nation's capital-Washington, DC. View the sights at your own pace on the included Old Town Trolley tour. There is still a full day at your leisure to explore the city and surrounding area on your own.
