As I'm only an hour or so away, I vote for Connecticut.

Also to sweeten the east coast pie a bit, don't forget Battleship Cove in Fall River. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battleship_Cove

It bills itself as the worlds largest Naval ship museum.

Besides being just a stones through away from my back yard deck and it's barbecue grill. in just one stop we could tour:

The USS Lionfish, a Balao Class SUBMARINE!.
The USS Massachusetts, a South Dakota class Battleship
The USS Joseph P. Kennedy a Gearing class Destroyer
The Hiddensee, an East German Navy (The EGs had a Navy? ) Corvette
And The National PT BoatMuseum (including two WW2 era PT Boats)

CT or IL would be awesome. That place you just posted in CT Neal looks awesome. I may not be the most active poster, but I'd definitely go to one of those.

Oh my gosh. Chicago?

Please say yes. I am quite close and what's more, I already have friends in Chicago. Went there last year and can't quite wait to come back.

Not to mention a Subsim meet would of course be great

Well I spent 12 weeks in Groton under a Trident class. We were given a private tour of the WWII sub by a former crew member. Tres' nice experience. BTW, the Consititution is in Boston Steve. Yo ho ho.

S'
PC

PS: what a bunch of reprobates in the pics. Looks like a great time! BTW, since SH3 is about U-Boats, why not Chicago! Best Pizza and Sub? CT of course!!

I can attest on how cool it is to sleep aboard a WW2 submarine.

NikiMcbee, Mookie, Neal, Undersealcpl played SH4 on the Cavalla last summer and then watched Run Silent, Run Deep later that night.

It was something I'll never forget, and got lots of pictures of the sunset over the sub's tower.

Yeah, we need to sleep on a sub again. This time w/o all the cleaning chemicals. We need the surround sound for the next game/movie.

Default Welll,,,

My breakdown is: CT without a doubt, so many things to see out there.

I was split between Chicago and CT, and I had a "weak" moment.

.....though Hawaii would be nice

A lot closer than I thought

Perhaps I should have voted and prevented the tie

Wow, still a draw.

For the record, I think I could afford to swing CT as well.
