We took a week for out tour of history, starting with Boston and the USS Constitution and rushing through Salem, Washington DC, and Gettysburg. With 8 days, one could only hit the highlights.
One can at times fell the weight of history, and in so doing notice the lack of awareness of most.
Through it all I gather a number of interesting details to use in future games, one shot and campaign. Of course some may involve time travel. I love maps, and now I have a better feel for some them be it the battlefield at Gettysburg or the layout of the 'The House of Seven Gables' (even if it isn't really the fictional house of the book).
Even got some good stuff out of Salem, which has become a horrid tourist trap with self-righteous airs. It's someday to be the setting for one of my Holloween games, with one of its many tourist shops getting ahold of something a little too real...

Did you get the chance to visit America's Stonehenge?
This is a Precolumbian Megalithic site with standing stone circles that predates Columbus.

I didn't get to visit there, although it's something I'll remember for the future.
So much to see, it was really a highlights tour.
