8-DAY EAST COAST DELUX TOUR - 2009

8 days from New York City to New York City (LA-EC8D)

Prices & Dates:

$625.00 (depart Wednesday & Saturday)

Vacation Overview

From the original thirteen colonies to booming New York City, the East Coast of the United States is rich in History, architecture, culture, and natural beauty.

The city of Boston and a visit to Martha's Vineyard highlights this itinerary. Boston itself was founded in 1630, nearly 150 years before the colonies formed a new nation. Now Boston is a thriving city and the capital of the state of Massachusetts, but it has admirably retained its historical landmarks.

Made famous by past Presidents, Martha's Vineyard is known for its beautiful beaches and pleasant summer weather. The charming island is made up of six towns with a population of 15,000.
