Free plane ticket in the US
So I looked at my frequent flier points, and I realized I qualify for a free plane ticket (on Southwest) Need some ideas where I could use it?
See the U-505? I haven't been there since '96.

Chesapeake Bay has a rich maritime history.
Mariner's Museum in Newport News, VA http://www.marinersmuseum.org/ USPS Yorktown Battlefield http://www.nps.gov/yonb/index.htm Been there numerous times though it's better to visit when it's warmer (spring or fall especially fall) War of 1812 bicentenial up in Baltimore, sometime in June I think. OH! Carl's Custard & Ice Cream in Fredericksburg, VA. can't miss that if you're in the area. While you gorge yourself on custard there's the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvannia Battlefields http://www.nps.gov/frsp/index.htm .

Whatever you do, don't come to Salt Lake. Not that I wouldn't mind seeing you again, but what a waste of a good plane ticket!

Why not come to the North East and rent a car for a week or something. We got Museum ships at Boston, New London, NYC, Buffalo and Chicago. Those cities are basically one big line.

I had to check the map and you are close! So, here's a crazy idea. See U-505, drive up to Milwaukee, catch the ferry to Muskegon to see the USS Silversides. How much is the ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon? The Cobia is pretty cool, but it is farther north.

Pricey. But Not too bad for a one-time thing. The 150 minute trip is half the time it takes to drive around. It is comfy though.
Lake Express.

I have a very flexable holiday schedule.
Maybe a mini subsim meet in Chicago? Lets say, for fun, we did this. How much time would you need to prep for it (take time off, etc)? I'm aiming for mid-May or Mid June. Too short of notice? My work partner is going on sabbatical during that time for around a month, so I want to go before he leaves.
