Well if that includes Texas you could always visit the Cavalla...I hear they are looking for someone to clean out the inside of the torpedo tubes.

Might be a bit of a tight squeeze but I reckon you'd manage

Theoretical plan:

Fly into Providence:
  • 1 day at Fall River
  • Take the back way into Lexington-Concord= See Lexington Green
  • Take train into Boston, See Constitution again, Bunker Hill museum.
  • See Groton again?
  • Take ferry to Nantucket? Spend day there.
  • Any other cool Rev war-colonial stuff in general area?

Well the Freedom Trail goes right past the Bunker Hill Monument as well as several other Revolution points of interest.

Then there is Plymouth Plantation

and

Old Sturbridge Village

I forgot about the Freedom Train.

Plymouth and the freedom trail sound pretty cool.

Is the Plymouth area rural or urban now?

Do you think a guy could see Lexington Green and do the Freedom trail in one day?

I'm thinking about flying in on a wed (the 9th) and leaving on Mon (14). That would give me four days of fun. So here's a projected schedule
1 day Fall River
1 day Lexington-Boston
1 Day Nantucket?
1 day Plymouth (or stuff in that area?)
= four days

What days would you want to hang out?

That should be possible. Not much to see at Lexington or Concord other than on Patriots day.

Sounds like a plan. Minor change, I was at our pt-boat board meeting and I told our curator I was thinking about going to Fall River, so he wanted to know if he could tag along. I said the rules were this:
No whining, no saying "I'm bored", gotta like ships and museums. That's not a problem. So he's tagging along. Actually, he wanted to meet the pt-boat curator at Fall River. Hope that's not a problem.

Not a problem. What day do you want to see Plimoth Plantation?
